No BBC showing is bad news for me.

Re: Medium S5 to be shown on Living then Virgin1
Yes another free channel programme snapped up by a PAY broadcaster yet since it wasn't SKY1 the usual suspects over on DS have remained mute

Then again they are a year behind the US by screening season 5 (V1 two years?) and no guarantee there will be a seventh, same for Supernatural which only got another season as the studio demanded it and it seems most of the cast and crew were looking at new horizons.

It probably says a lot about ITV letting Supernatural go but a little head scratcher over the BBC dropping Medium or was it simply they had a budget and Living outbid them?

Re: Medium S5 to be shown on Living then Virgin1
Maybe it'll attract a bigger audience on Living, it should at least be shown in prime time and not stuck in a late night slot with little or no promotion on the Beeb.

It's such agreat show, it really deserved a 9pm slot on BBC2 at the very least.

Re: Medium S5 to be shown on Living then Virgin1
Does that explain why the Beeb are showing all the seasons in a row, are they losing the rights to all the previous seasons?

It's a shame the Virgin1 pq on freeview is awful, & not to mention that stupid red devil over half the screen

Exclamation Re: Medium S5 to be shown on Living then Virgin1
Hi,

Also, don't forget folks, that both Living and Virgin don't show proper 16:9 programming. What you get is cruddy 4:3, with miniscule black bars at the top and bottom of the image, that results in a totally pointless "Widescreen" look, that bears no actual relation to the proper Widescreen format the show is filmed in.

Living will have an HD channel very shortly (next month??), I wonder if Medium will be in HD (and 16:9)?

I'm not 100% sure it was. I know they showed the first 2 back to back in one continous run, then they showed season 3, I can't remember if I watched 3 on BBC or not.

Isn't season 5 imminent? Or is it one of the shows starting in January? So we're already a year behind.

Also pretty sure that Living is in widescreen, thought it had been for a while now.

BBC have shown s4 as that's the only place I've watched medium. I think it was around March time.

Series 5 starts on friday at 9.00pm on Living.

cheers, count

No, it's season 5 on Living at the moment, I don't think season 6 has even started in the US just yet.

Bump!

Quick heads-up to say that Season 5 of Medium starts on Virgin1 on Thursday (6th May) at 10pm.

I would assume the BBC have no rights to the series with both PAY and Free rights being owned by the UKTV group.

Why? No freeview? Or just really averse to onscreen logos?

Yes. It was reported in the Radio Times last year that the BBC had dumped Medium.
