Channel 4 & E4: Schedule Status & Listings 5th to 23rd May 2025 |
E4 are currently airing the show on weekdays at 8am, 8:30am, 4pm, 4:30pm and 6:30pm. We get season 26 then 29 then 8 in the 8am hour (moving to 9am from the 19th), season 26 then 29 then 8 in the 4pm hour, and season 14 then 26 in the 6:30pm slot. On Thursdays and Fridays, there's also season 32 at 7pm, in addition to the above slots. On Fridays only, we get a triple-bill of season 23 from 7:30pm. And some weekdays, there's an additional 7pm episode from season 23, too. Whew! On weekends, the Friday 7:30pm triple and the season 32 Thu/Fri 7pm episodes are repeated Saturday from 6:30pm to 9pm, and we get a repeat of the prior week's 6:30pm episodes on Sunday evenings from 6:30pm to 9pm. The specifics of those repeats begin to vary from Saturday 17th, with the volume growing even further - seven on Saturday and eight on Sunday! As confirmed in a press release, E4 will be the home of the show's linear, broadcast premieres in the UK moving forward, inheriting Sky's mantle. From season 36, Disney+ are premiering the show in the UK and Ireland (see above), with E4 then broadcasting the season later in the year. What of seasons 33 to 35, which Sky have premiered and C4 have not yet inherited the rights to? I feel certain they will eventually show up on E4, but presumably Sky's legacy contract will determine when that will eventually be. The show also remains on Channel 4 during weekend daytimes, with the usual hodgepodge of episodes on Saturday and Sunday mornings and lunchtimes. There's a good number of overnight slots there, too, occasionally bleeding right through to the early morning. They're currently mostly airing seasons 4 and season 31, though other seasons occasionally appear too. Between C4 and E4, the Channel 4 suite have double the number of broadcasts of Sky at the moment. Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. Note that all episodes are simulcast on Channel 4 HD or E4 HD and can be viewed one hour later on their timeshift services, Channel 4 +1 and E4 +1. |

RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings 5th to 23rd May 2025 |
RTÉ2 are currently airing selections from seasons 29 and 31 in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot. Occasional bonus episodes appear on some Wednesdays and Fridays, typically at 6pm or 7pm. As usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns. |

Sky Showcase are currently broadcasting four episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6pm and then 7pm to 8pm. (The US Office occupies the 6pm hour.) Weekends remain less predictable, typically home to a handful of episodes per day. Currently airing: season 10, 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 season 2. The regular slots move to the morning on Bank Holidays. As discussed above, premieres of the show in the UK and Ireland will now take place on Disney+, followed later by E4. So we won't be getting season 36 on Sky anytime soon. It's hard to know what Sky's long-term strategy will be with the show now, once the jewel in Sky One's crown; but there's no shortage of repeat broadcasts in the short term, clearly. 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. Episodes starting between midnight and 5am are listed as part of the previous day's schedule, similar to most print TV guides. |
