The Weakest Link will move to BBC One and replace Neighbours when the long-running Aussie soap moves to Five next month.

According to The Guardian, CBBC programming on the channel will start 20 minutes earlier at around 3pm to allow the game show to run for its regular 45 minute length, longer than Neighbours' current 25 minute slot.

Rumours that Link would move to One surfaced in November (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/programming/a79510/weakest-link-could-replace-neighbours.html), when CBBC controller Richard Deverell told a commissioning conference that children's programming would remain on the channel regardless of what was ultimately selected to replace Neighbours.

The soap is expected to start airing on Five on February 11.

I would have thought they have something better to replace Neighbours with, can't see too many people watching Weakest Link at that time of the day.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, tax payers paying for stupid sums of money an episode of some foreighn trash. Best decision if you ask me!

I don't think it will be long until they do that, to be honest. Though you'd think with all this technology, that they would have found a way to make five accessible to the whole country, wouldn't you?

I used to live in a block of high rised flats 16 storeys high and one time someone stole the ariel of the roof so we couldn't get CH5 for a while. It was just after H&A changed from ITV to CH5

Yes you can get 5 through freeview, but not everywhere can get free view, it all depends on your area.
