Science and Islam ... in HD

Having watched part one of the excellent three parter on BBC4 I have just stumbled across the fact that it is being "almost" simulcast in HD.

i.e. it is "currently" showing on BBCHD too.

There are no upcoming broadcasts of ep.1, but ep. 2 is on tomorrow (Tues 13th) at 8pm. Despite what Digiguide thinks, not 8am !


I didn't notice a voice-over telling us that it was available at "the same time" (well, roughly anyway) on BBCHD, nor was there any reference to this in the Radio Times. Oddly, the RT will always state when something is simulcast in HD. This is unhelpful to me as I always glance at the HD channel to see if something is being simulcast (especially for new drama or nature docs). It is precisely when these whacky scheduling decisions are made that I need the RT to point me to the "hidden" HD broadcasts. Even just a warning that there is an HD broadcast will set me off looking for it.
