No new Enterprise?
 
I read on a scifi bulliten board that Sky One will not be showing series 4
of Enterprise! Has anyone else heard this or was it a troll trying to get a
response (which of course he did, from me)?

Hmm. I think it is more than just a troll. I've just looked at the
schedule for Sky One for January and it's not there, nor is it in any of
their updates documents. Not a good sign. (I wish the word "Enterprise"
didn't appear in quite so many synopses for TNG episodes!). They could
be delaying it; if they don't show it then it will be the first time
since TNG in the late 80s that Sky hasn't bought (or indeed, been
broadcasting) a star trek series?

Enterprise series 1 started on 7th Jan 2002 on Sky One. Series 2 started
on 6th Jan 2003. Series 3 was 5th Jan 2004. There is still a "TBA" on
Sky One 21:00 3rd Jan 2005, but the following two Mondays have a movie
in that slot.

Sky's flagship primetime slots seem to be filled with Reality-TV junk in
2005 - "So you think you're safe", "The secret life of", "Ed vs
Spencer", "Rescue me", "Darts players' wives", "The only gays in the
village". It looks like a determined effort to attract the Chav market
to me :-(


As far as I know, the US is on Episode 9 and there is a big long break
whilst they show SG1, so perhaps Sky are waiting for all episodes in
the US to be shown before they show the whole lot over here....

Next episode's broadcast on the 14th January in the US:

SG1's been on a break for ages and starts again in January too:

Although this episode appears to have already been shown over here!

Are you using DigiGuide? If so the "Search programme names only"
check box is your friend...

I still haven't seen series 3 - will Channel 4 be showing it any time
soon?

Why? It is not even listed in Digiguide, unless it has been added
today (my listings don't update till 19:00)

Well it's certainly not listed in the Jan schedule, mind you there are plenty of
new shows and returning shows, would make sense to spread them around.
I would be very surprised if they didn't buy season 4, after all they stuck with
it for the first two less than stellar seasons then the much better third, be a shame
if the stunning fourth season isn't shown.
However they only officially announced the purchase of season2 of Cold Case
and Las Vegas very recently and SKY have in the past have not gone out of
their way to keep viewers informed:)

Lots of schedule info here......
