Ch9 treat Sherlock like utter c**p… I wonder why they bother owning it.
(BTW when I saw the Sherlock picture i thought this might have been news about S5… following Moffats promising words the other day… and my heart skipped a beat lol)
Actually no, they run it same day as UK on Stan. Nine replays it several months later.
Ah i see… i can’t do Stan, so that doesn’t mean anything to me (and other viewers who can’t either)
I would of thought doctor who would have been on the list!
I doubt that Doctor Who has been anywhere near the top for quite a long time now, and that includes the closing days of the 1963 series too. It certainly hasn’t been helped by the destruction rained upon pretty much every aspect of the 1963 series by the 2005 series.
Death in Paradise, wow, who knew!
Death in Paradise, runs on BBC First, then the ABC 12 months later and older episodes air on UKTV and Gem. Similar for Sherlock its on Stan, Nine/Gem, ABC and the BBC cable channels. Doctor Who just sells the ABC and then older eps are on the ABC And SyFy.
Blue planet II is pretty much reference material for UHD TV users so any broadcaster would need to screen it in HD as a minimum requirement to get the best from it.
