Rob Beckett's Smart TV axed
Sky drops panel show after two seasons
Sky has axed Rob Beckett's Smart TV as the panel show format continues to wane.
The programme launched on Sky Max in February 2024 also featured team captains Josh Widdicombe and Alison Hammond and regular appearances from Natasia Demetriou. A second series ran this March.
A Sky spokesperson told The Sun: ‘After two brilliant series testing the telly knowledge of the nation, it is time for us to roll the credits on Rob Beckett's Smart TV.
‘Our huge thanks to the TV quizzing trio, Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond and Josh Widdicombe who brought all the laughs to screen. We look forward to working together again.’
Sky has previously announced the end of sports panel show A League Of Their Own, with the 20th and final series of the Romesh Ranganathan-fronted show to air later this year.
