Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings 30th October to 18th November 2022 |
Channel 4 begin the free-to-air premiere of season 30 on Tuesday, in the usual 6pm weekday slot. Woo-hoo! Take a look at this blog post by Christopher Wickham, friend of the page, for some context on what C4 might see fit to censor from this run. Thus far, it appears they are skipping the Treehouse of Horror episode entirely, but the Christmas episode is intact, not held over for the festive season. On Sunday lunchtimes on C4, we get a mixture, primarily from seasons 18 and 22. Saturday and Sunday mornings are usually home to repeats of episodes broadcast between the prior Sunday and Friday. There are a few late night repeats, too, and also a number of additional overnight repeats (usually around 4am) over 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 most 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 three and eight a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening. Currently airing: it's Halloween, so we get lots of "Treehouse". Then, from November 1st, Sky move on to season 9 - which is returning to their clutches after a couple of years away - in two concurrent runs - one primetime (6:30pm and later, except Saturday), one out-of-primetime (pre-6:30pm). Following that it's season 31. Look out for some additional episodes in the 8pm hour on certain days, and some Fridays have extras in the 4pm hour. As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped. No word yet on season 34, which has begun in the US - the last few years, we've waited until December to start the season, and I expect that pattern to continue. 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. |
