“This was on about 2 wks ago. Total joke.#tippingpoint,” a third fumed and: “#TippingPoint has been on for 12 years yet they keep repeating episodes from the last few weeks.”
Another chimed in with: “I think all the recent repeats is a plan by ITV to alienate everyone so we welcome months of Deal or No Deal….”
The show originally aired on April 15, 2022.
ITV have been caught up in yet another baffling scheduling move amid criticism for consistent repeats.
The channel has seemingly been struggling to fill its schedules in recent weeks and has had to rely heavily on repeats in order to stop the channel from falling off air.
However, rather than making use of its huge archive bank, the network has seemingly been choosing to air the exact same repeats within just weeks of each other.
This weekend looks set to be no different either.

ITV are currently planning to air the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough on Saturday between 4pm and 6:30pm.
It comes just one week after the exact same movie held the exact same timeslot on the channel.
Just days ago, the movie was screened from 4:35pm on ITV1 for the first time.
Despite having racked up over 1,700 episodes of Tipping Point in total, ITV have been opting to re-broadcast the same 20 episodes from series 13 in a strange move.
In another bizarre move, currently only 19 episode from series 13, those currently being aired on a regular re-run, as well as one episode from series 14 are available to stream on ITVX as opposed to the huge back catalogue of those at ITV’s disposal.
