– Couple of problems here. First, both of these articles are completely incorrectly disambiguated as per WP:NCTV – we don't disambiguate "by production company" (On Safari (TVS TV series), which was produced by TVS), and we definitely don't disambiguate by second-run TV network (On Safari (STV TV series), which was rerun on STV in 2009, but which originally aired on ITV in 2000). Both of these shows are from the UK, so "by country" disambiguation is out. And both aired (first-run) on ITV, so "by network" disambiguation is also out (and has been deprecated under WP:NCTV anyway). The second issue is that neither of these are "TV series" – they are both properly "game shows" under NCTV. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:15, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom and WP:NCTV. --Gonnym (talk) 07:04, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Comment - do we know if this was the same franchise rebooted, or totally separate? If this was a reboot, I'd lean toward a merge. -- Netoholic @ 07:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

From reading the articles, it seems to be two separate (though similar) game shows with the same title that aired on the same network. It's not unprecedented – see: Wheel of Fortune (1952) and Wheel of Fortune (U.S. game show) (and, yes – I know the former is misnamed: I'm on it...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:15, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
