Cheers Pooch.

Hope it isn't 11pm, that would seriously dent its possible viewing figures if it were

Greg,

Some of Season 1 aired at 11pm, but because Sky repeats each week's episode at least three times between itself and Sky 1, then the 11pm start time shouldn't affect the ratings dramaticaly.

Also, Sky 1 have had to be very, very careful with transmitting this show at 10pm, due to the frequently coarse language used throughout every episode. Sky's been given a slapped-wrist by Ofcom, because of a "Deadwood" trailer that used the f-word once in it, even though said trailer aired well past Midnight. (It was aired in a post-Midnight epiosde of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and a man recorded the episode for his youngish son - about 7 or 8 - and kid heard the f-word! Father wrote and complained to Ofcom, and Sky got a b*ll**king!)

Sky will probably, therefore, play safe, and air some episodes at 11pm, and some at 10pm, depending on the quota of offensive language and/or violent or adult content.
