 Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings
 29th May to 17th June 2022

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 a mixture of seasons in the 6pm weekday slot. It's been a while since the channel has deviated from airing (near-) entire seasons in order, but at the moment, we get a selection, albeit mostly from seasons 21, 22 and 23.

On Sunday mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we also get a variety! 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 takes a few days off due to sport coverage - no episodes on Sat 4th, Mon 6th and Wed 8th, and only a late night episode on Tue 7th. There's nothing currently on 4seven, either.

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.

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 7, in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). Season 14 follows, and season 20 comes after that. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped.

For the Jubilee holiday weekend, we also get some bonus daytime season 18 (but nothing in primetime that whole weekend - even those from season 33).

The premiere run of season 33 approaches its conclusion, with episodes continuing to premiere on Sundays and get encore outings on Fridays, each albeit at extremely variable times.. see below for full details on those last few episodes:

  • "Meat is Murder" airs on Sunday May 29th at 7pm, repeated Friday June 3rd at 3pm
  • "Poorhouse Rock" airs on Sunday June 5th at 2:15pm, repeated Friday June 10th 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.
