Channel 4 are currently airing season 16 in the 6pm weekday slot. Season 15 follows.

On Sunday mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we get season 3. Saturday is usually a repeat of episodes broadcast between the prior Sunday and Friday.

The show also airs over on 4seven, with repeats of both weekday and weekend episodes, usually very late at night - though it's a little less frequent than in recent months.

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.

 Sky Showcase: Schedule Status & Complete Listings
 7th to 25th March 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 25, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). Season 31 follows, and then season 4 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.

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:

  • "Portrait of a Lackey on Fire" will be repeated on Friday 11th March at 8pm
  • "Mothers and Other Strangers" on Sunday March 13th at 6pm, repeated Friday 18th March at 8pm
  • "The Longest Marge" on Sunday March 13th at 6pm, repeated Friday 18th March 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.
