Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings 21st October to 8th November 2024 |
Channel 4 are currently airing part of season 31 in the usual 6:30pm weekdays slot. Perhaps the premiere of season 32 might come straight after? We'll find out next week.. (Friend of the page Christopher Wickham has some preview commentary on what C4 may or may not cut from their broadcasts when they get to the season.) On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we currently get episodes from seasons 4, 17 and 23. There are a good number of late-night episodes scheduled at the moment, across a variety of seasons, including a number of Treehouse of Horror episodes in the lead up to (and surrounding) Halloween. (We also get one single solitary Treehouse of Horror episode in the usual 6:30pm weekday slot on the day itself: XVIII.) 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 have settled on typically broadcasting four episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6pm and then 7pm to 8pm. (The US Office occupies the 6pm hour.) Weekends are less predictable, typically home to six or more episodes throughout the afternoon and evening. Currently airing: season 20, in two concurrent runs - generally, that's one run in the 5pm, 7pm or 7:30pm weekday slots, and a repeat either in a 5:30pm weekday slot, or on a weekend. Following that is part of season 32 (likely that season's final run before C4 gain the rights later this year), and then season 15. In between S32 and S15, we get a good number of Treehouse of Horror episodes around and over Halloween, including a couple of late-night outings - and most significantly, the premiere of Treehouse of Horror XXXIV, which Sky skipped over during their premiere run of season 35 earlier this year! It airs on Sunday 27th at 7:30pm, repeated Wed 30th at 10pm, and again on Halloween itself at 7:30pm. (Thanks, Anthony, for the email about this!) As always, some episodes deemed unsuitable for daytime broadcast are skipped, and some episodes don't get a second run depending on Sky's weekend schedule. No word yet on season 36, which started recently in the US - it'll likely be a December/January start here, similar to other recent seasons. 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. |
