Channel 4 & 4seven: Schedule Status & Listings 6th to 24th November 2023 |
Channel 4 have moved their longstanding weekday 6pm slot to 6:30pm - and as of today, Monday 6th, it's home to the terrestrial premiere of season 31. Woo-hoo! I recommend perusing Christopher Wickham's assessment of what they might see fit to cut from the run. "Treehouse of Horror XXX" looks to be on the schedule in the usual timeslot, but "Thankgiving of Horror" gets a late-night premiere, at 12:20am on the night of Wednesday 15th. No word yet on whether the festive "Bobby, It's Cold Outside" will be saved for December. There are a few days where episodes are bumped for sports (or episodes of Four in a Bed that have been bumped by sports) - see below for details. On weekend mornings and lunchtimes on C4, we mostly get season 5, and sometimes, repeats of episodes broadcast the prior week - see the full schedules below for details. Nothing over on 4seven at the moment. 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. |

RTÉ2: Schedule Status & Listings 6th to 24th November 2023 |
RTÉ2 are currently airing season 19, returning to terrestrial after a while away, in the usual 4:30pm weekday slot. Selections from season 24 and 25 follow, the latter returning after some time with Sky. There are occasional variations, and we also sometimes get a Sunday episode at 5:30pm. The more exciting news is that the Irish terrestrial premiere of season 31 begins on Friday 10th, at 6pm (in addition to the standard 4:30pm slot). The bad news? For now, it's just one episode, with the following Friday 6pm slot pre-empted for sport, and the following Friday TBC at time of writing. D'oh! As usual, some episodes are skipped due to content concerns (or other reasons) - and there's nothing special for Halloween. |

Sky Showcase can't seem to commit to a regular weekday schedule right now! Following C4's changes, we are currently getting an episode at 5:30pm, then two more from 7pm to 8pm - their third variation in as many months. But it's all change again from Monday 13th - it's then (mostly) five episodes a weeknight, from 5pm to 6:30pm and then 7pm to 8pm - you can fill in that gap with an episode on C4, or stay with Sky Showcase for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and relive your youth.. Weekends are a little less predictable, but we usually get a decent number of episodes - usually between four and nine a day, spread across the morning, afternoon and evening. Currently airing: season 21, and then season 27 in two concurrent runs - one on weekday evenings, and one on weekends and an early weekday slot (5:30pm). There's also a few bonuses from season 7 here and there. No word yet on season 35, which has kicked off in the US - presumably we're looking at the traditional Christmastime premiere here. 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. 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. |
