Not looking good this morning: showing repeats still and all the products have been removed from the website. It would surprise me if the insolvency/intention to appoint administrators is announced today.

I always thought Shops stayed open when the Adminstrators come in.

It depends on the state of the company as the administrators find it: sometimes they will try to trade out the remaining inventory if they think that will mean a better result for creditors, but other times, for instance, when all the stock is ROT (retention of title) or there are other issues the company sometimes has to cease trading immediately.

I was thinking of like when Woolies went under, but obviously, they had stock on the shelves which needed selling, where as something like Create and Craft, Don’t carry stock I guess
Ah well it is now Friday 3.00pm and.....?
Much of their stock is sale or return, or Direct Dispatch, so it's not often actually owned by the company. They probably don't have a lot of that to sell if they were to remain trading.

I guess they’ve decided to delay or pull

They posted this on Facebook:
'Thank you to our customers for their continued patience, we are sorry we aren't ready to broadcast live just yet. We will continue sharing our favorite moments on our channels and our streaming app over the weekend and we will update you as soon as we can.'

Just another indication that, slowly, selly telly is a dying broadcast medium.

The irony is the infomercial is alive and well on YouTube and social media

I’ve watched some of the Clarity shows on YouTube.
There is difference you only get the expert, who mainly demos, and occasionally gives the price.
Rather than having a presenter, who keeps on

It's a disgrace that they continue to show repeats that display ordering information when viewers can't order. Yes there's the info banner bottom of the screen, however even so.
In typical selly telly manner, if they do return, nowt will be mentioned about this, or if it is, it will all be done in a light-hearted giggly manner. With no mention of those whose orders haven't arrived etc.

I think it would be mentioned unlike IW.
Clarity and Stephanie Weightmans Empire which is about half the channel, I believe have sent out the orders.

Just before Ideal World MK2 ceased trading some of the presenters were making jokes on air about being handed their P45's so i imagine similar jokes will be made if they did come back.

So many people on Facebook have spent hundreds of pounds and not received their orders. This is why transparency is key but I'm sure it will be too little too late.

Saw on Highlight Crafts this morning that Dean and Leonie joining their team on Highlight Crafts Live. Also Natasha McCarthy the ex C&C presenter turned fabric/sewer expert. Looks as if the writing is on the wall for C&C. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be on YouTube so I have to watch on my iPad. They’re actually very good with no hard sell, but wonder if that’ll change with time.

It’s weird Jazzy, as I’m sure I didn’t watch live but later on the Highlight Craft Website. I just looked and can’t find any of the “live” repeats either. The next live is tomorrow morning at 8.30 so I’ll see if they say how to watch repeats.

Just found it. Go to the drop down menu on Highlight crafts website,. First option is Live Shopping. Click on that, scroll down a bit and they’re all on there.
Only problem is it looks as if if it’s optimised to use on a phone. The screen is split into 3. Left side is comments, middle is the actual show and the right hand side is the products.
I always use my iPad in landscape mode. However if I flip to portrait it’s fine to watch. Will have to try and work out how to change it.
I watched Mel and Amanda on a scan n cut show. Really good, full explanations and very relaxed.
