After what feels like an eternity, tomorrow night will finally see the long-awaited debut of Pushing Daisies on ITV1. Hoorah!

Saturday night does seem a slightly odd scheduling choice, if I'm being honest, but to their credit ITV have been raving about the show since they first bought it and have always held firm in the conviction that it would be shown during prime-time on ITV1. Having waited so long to air it, one can only imagine that a lot of time and planning has gone into the decision and that they now truly believe that Saturday night is the right place for it. Certainly having Britain's Got Talent as a lead-in should help somewhat; assuming enough people have it in them to stay tuned having just endured 75 minutes of Piers Morgan. Hopefully they do.

For now, just watch the preview above and remember that your other main option on Saturday night is Casualty. Is there really a decision to make?

Yes, but why are ITV1 skipping episode 2?

There is no logic. My hope - and I'm really, really, really hoping here - is that the pilot draws enough for ITV to re-think that abomination of an idea. If it does good enough numbers, why sacrifice an episode? But who knows what they're thinking. If it actually happens I'll be furious.
