Smile Babylon 5 is back!!!

Hi Folks,

I now have official confirmation of when Bravo (sorry, Sci-Fi), are going to be airing B5. Be prepared for they are going into overdrive on this.....

Okay, this is what is happening:

Sunday 1st April - they start with a **marathon** B5 day, between 12:00 Noon till 5.30am!!!!!!!!! Seventeen-and-a-half hours of pure, uncensored science-fiction action!

Then all 110 hours of the series from Monday 2nd April onwards!

Now, I''m not sure whether Bravo intend to show select episodes on the 1st, but start the proper, official run of the show, right from the first half of the Pilot Episode "The Gathering" on the 2nd, or what. However, I'm sure many of you will be thrilled about this news!

Better get purchasing those blank videotapes and/or get a TiVO or Sky+ box on the double!

More news will follow, as soon as I hear!

Hi All B5 Fans,

Just an update for you regarding what's being shown and when...

Monday 1st April:
Midday-2pm - B5: Pilot Movie - The Gathering
2pm-05:30am - Season 1:1-1:17

Tuesday 2nd
Season 1:18

From then on, it'll be just one episode, per day, Mondays through Fridays.

The schedules will be:
Mondays @ 15:00 / 20:00 (rpt) / 05:00 (rpt)
Tuesdays @ 15:00 / 20:00 (rpt) / 05:00 (rpt
Wednesdays @ 15:00 / 20:00 (rpt) / 05:00 (rpt)
Thursdays @ 15:00 / 20:00 (rpt) / 05:00 (rpt)
Fridays @ 15:00 / 20:00 (rpt) NO LATE NIGHT REPEAT!!!

Also, Bravo are intending to show all episodes uncut whenever possible. However they will need to observe standard ITC guidelines, hence some Season 4 and 5 episodes that were given "12" certificates by the BBFC, will not be allowed to be shown prior to 8pm. I also want to point out that bravo have NO CONTROL over whether episodes are cut or not, as they are supplied "as is" from Warner Bros. As such, only Warner's know if any material will have been excised or cut. (We can only hope they haven't cut it!)

Enjoy!

Bravo, damn! They've got that jolly nice hard orange symbol - should be great on the CGI shots, and everything. Oh well, another thing to eat to.
