Nice move, but would have been even better if BBC HD played out Season 2 first. They are currently re-running S1 for some infathomable reason.

I’ll be watching but I agree 5 night in a row is a commitment, I hope it’s on a 2nd time in the 24 hours in case of clashes with other shows, or re-run as a 5 hour block at some point or it will be back to the internet for me.

We do have the option of UKTV 2+ at 10:30pm I guess…

Thanks for the news David.

@Shelly, I dare say some Australians without Foxtel will be watching Children of Earth before Foxtel even gets a chance to air it!

Good on UK TV.

Frankly, I think it’s a little silly to air this mini-series over 5 consecutive nights. I’m sure that only a limited number of fans would be able to make that sort of commitment. I suppose the ratings will speak for themselves in good time.

By the way, are these episodes an hour long or feature lengthed?

Darn, Foxtel is actually starting to look attractive.

All I have to do now is to listen to the new radio plays which takes place before Children of Earth and are on BBC Radio 4 next week before seeing Children of Earth.

Those of us without Foxtel will just have to wait a little longer….
