LISTINGS SOURCE: Channel4.com, Digiguide

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

On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we get season 3. Saturday is usually a repeat of the previous Sunday's episodes. Some, but not all, episodes from the weekday run also get repeats on the weekend. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped.

The show also airs over on 4seven, with repeats of both weekday and weekend episodes, usually very late at night - days and times vary.

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
 28th February to 18th 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.

Currently airing: season 24, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm, plus Saturday evenings). Season 25 follows, and then season 31 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:

  • "A Serious Flanders Part 2" will be repeated on Friday 4th March at 8pm
  • "Portrait of a Lackey on Fire" on Sunday March 6th at 7pm, repeated Friday 11th March at 8pm
  • "Mothers and Other Strangers" 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.
