Something for the Weekend (TV programme)

The show was cancelled in 2012, and Lovejoy and Rimmer moved to Channel 4 to front Sunday Brunch, with a similar format.

When Hamilton took maternity leave in 2009, her slot was filled by guest presenters including Jenni Falconer, Kellie Shirley and Louise Redknapp.

[citation needed] Each programme usually followed the same format and featured Rimmer (assisted by either Hamilton, Lovejoy, Redknapp and for two of the segments by one of the celebrity guests) cooking a three course meal and a 'lazy brunch' dish, two guest interviews, clips from television programmes shown that week (usually from BBC series), a 'Deja View' clip of an old programme where the presenters and guests guess the year it was first broadcast, a drinks segment with a mixologist (usually either Andy Pearson or Wayne Collins), and a gadget round-up segment called 'Some Things for the Weekend'.

The show was recorded at Princess Productions' TV facility at the Whiteleys Centre in Bayswater, London which was also home to Channel 5's weekday programme The Wright Stuff.

[citation needed] Although the show had high ratings and was popular with audiences, in January 2012 it was announced that it would not return after March 2012 due to budget cuts in original daytime programming.
