Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings  2nd to 20th October 2023

SEASON RIGHTS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30 LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide Channel 4 are breaking with decades of tradition and, as part of a wholesale daytime and early-evening overhaul, are moving the usual weekday 6pm slot to 6:30pm, seemingly-permanently. (Whither Sky, who already air an episode at 6:30pm? Well, see below for info on that.) They continue to air a variety of different seasons in that slot, though season 28 features the most consistently. Shout out to Christopher Wickham, the first to point the change out to me; I highly recommend his assessment of what Channel 4 might see fit to cut from season 31 when they premiere it later this year, the latest in an annual series. On Sunday mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we are also getting a selection of seasons, dominated by season 3 and season 16. Saturday mornings are usually home to repeats of episodes broadcast the prior week, and we also get some late-night repeats on both C4 itself and 4seven- see the full schedules below for details. Episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes that air on Channel 4 are simulcast on Channel 4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift service, Channel 4 +1.

Season 18 follows. There are a few bonus episodes in evening slots coming up too: on Thursday 5th, Friday 6th and Friday 13th. As usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns (or other reasons), and there's nothing on weekends at the moment.

Sky Showcase: Schedule Status & Complete Listings  2nd to 20th October 2023

SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34 LISTINGS SOURCE: Digiguide It's all change over at Sky Showcase: traditionally, on weekdays, we get an episode at 5pm and then three more from 6:30pm; to accommodate Channel 4's schedule shift, discussed above, we're shifting around a little. This week, it's a double from 5pm to 6pm and then another one or two from 7pm, but from next week, we settle in to a new normal of three episodes a night, from 5pm to 6:30pm, followed by The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The dream of the '90s is alive on Sky Showcase.. Weekends are a little less predictable, but we usually get a decent number of episodes - usually between two and eight a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening. Currently airing: season 19, in two concurrent runs. Big news on this front too, though - after a decade or more of one primetime and one out-of-primetime run, it's now one weekday run, one weekend run - those 5pm episodes are no longer part of the second, "repeat" run. Following S19, it's season 20, and then season 22. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, and some episodes don't get a second run depending on Sky's weekend schedule. Note that episodes starting between midnight and 5:30am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides.
