SEASON RIGHTS: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29
LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide

Channel 4 are currently airing season 21 in the 6pm weekday slot; what follows is not yet clear.

On Sunday mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we get season 11; season 23 follows. Saturday is usually a repeat of episodes broadcast between the prior Sunday and Friday.

As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, or broadcast only late at night - see listings below for details. The show also airs over on 4seven, with repeats of both weekday and weekend episodes, usually very late at night.

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
 15th May to 3rd June 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.

Currently airing: season 13, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). Season 32 follows, and season 7 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 approaches its conclusion, with episodes continuing to premiere in the traditional Sunday teatime slot - except "Marge the Meanie", which for some reason is currently scheduled to air on Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm - consider yourself warned... See below for details on timeslots. Each episode also gets an encore broadcast the following Friday - times also vary. The following are currently on deck:

  • "Girls Just Shauna Have Fun" airs on Sunday May 15th at 7pm, repeated Friday May 20th at 7:30pm
  • "Marge the Meanie" airs on Saturday May 21st at 3:30pm, repeated Friday May 27th at 7:30pm
  • "Meat is Murder" airs on Sunday May 29th at 7pm, repeated Friday June 3rd at 7:30pm

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.
