 Sky Showcase: Schedule Status & Complete Listings
 4th to 22nd April 2022


SEASON RIGHTS: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31, 32, 33
LISTINGS SOURCE: Digiguide

Sky Showcase currently broadcast four episodes on weekdays: one at 5pm, then three from 6:30pm to 8pm. Sport coverage can reduce the number of episodes broadcast. Weekends are a little less predictable, but we usually get a decent number of episodes - usually between three and eight a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening, though currently some Saturdays are light.

Currently airing: season 5, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). Season 8 follows, and then season 6 comes after that. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped; not all episodes get a shot at that second run either, as Sky weekends are a tad busy with sport at the moment. Slots vary a little over Easter weekend.

The premiere run of Season 33 continues, with episode back to premiering in the traditional Sunday teatime slot. Timeslots vary slightly - see below for details. Each episode also gets an encore broadcast the following Friday - times also vary. The following are currently on deck:

  • "Boyz 'n the Highlands" is repeated on Friday April 8th at 8pm
  • "You Won't Believe What This Ep's About - Act 3 Will Shock You!" on Sunday April 10th at 7pm, repeated Thursday April 14th at 7:30pm
  • "Bart the Cool Kid" on Sunday April 17th at 3pm (yes, 3pm - it's Easter Sunday), repeated Friday April 21st at 8pm

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.
