Channel 4 are currently airing season 23 in the usual 6pm weekday slot. Following that is season 9.

On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we get season 21. Season 2 follows. Saturday is usually a repeat of the previous Sunday's episodes. (The weekday S23 run is not getting a weekend repeat.)

There's late-night episodes on Tuesday 18th, Wednesday 26th and Saturday 29th. There's a double on Monday 31st, filling in a couple of gaps before the season 9 run begins. There's nothing currently on 4seven.

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

Currently airing: season 7, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm, plus Saturday evenings). Season 20 follows, and then season 18 comes after that. There's also season 30 as a utility player, occasionally filling up spaces on weekends; and we sometimes get additional 8pm double-bills, mostly on Thursdays.

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. The following are currently on deck:

  • "The Star of the Backstage" aired on Sunday January 16th and will be repeated Friday 21st at 8pm
  • "Bart's in Jail" on Sunday January 23rd at 5:30pm, repeated Friday 28th at 8pm
  • "Treehouse of Horror XXXII" on Sunday January 30th at 7pm, repeated Friday 4th 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.
