The series is being shown on Wednesday night on digital channel ITV4 after Letterman. This is current as of now but will almost inevitably change - start times vary by five minutes between this week and next week. I'm not sure if it's been shown before on UK free to air television.
shareThe First 2 seasons were shown on free to view tv in the uk, with no adverts, no cuts, no onscreen logos a little while back on Channel 5, they never got round to S3 as far as i can remeber..
Highlander.
The first, second and third seasons were shown on the sci-fi channel here in the UK a long long time ago around 7 years ago. Was quality yet i still to this day have never met anyone in the UK that has actually seen them all
shareWell I would watch them all if they were in a more sociable time slot!! What is it with British TV channels and constantly putting good/average Sci-Fi shows on at odd times during the night or early morning?? Not only that, but had it not been for my insomnia I would have probably missed this series! Ok one or two slightly cheesy episodes, but on the whole its quite good.
British TV channels have started putting good movies on at weird times as well, honestly I don't know which idiot they put in charge of scheduling!!
I have heard that a lot of US TV channels are quite ruthless when it comes to cancelling TV shows, if its below a certain number of viewers they seem to automatically cancel them. EVEN if they have won an Emmy or other such award!
They do the same in Australia mate ,4400 is on at 1130 at night here an you cant tape it because other shows overrun.We havent even seen first wave here but i have read alot about it .Hope it comes out on dvd an ends up on ebay.

Seen them all a few times mate, also transferd them to dvd-r incase they never make it to an official release...first and 3rd were by far the best seasons.
Atleast they had a conclusion at the end of S3 instead of yet another "US never to be resolved cliffhanger"
The entire series was re-shown on the sci-fi channel about 3 years ago, right before they went donw the pan and started putting text and dogs all over the screen! god i hate that, i know what channel i'm watching for pete's sake lol.
Highlander.
After watching the show fairly regularly on ITV4, I have my doubts that, with some of the content, the show was screened unedited on SciFi. Especially as it went out at 12noon every day. The ep that was on a couple weeks ago had some (quite bizarre) adult content.
I like the late night time slot. If it wasn't repeated at that time, I wouldn't be able to see it. 'Primetime' time slots suck. Every channel should do late night/early morning repeats.
"Give me my dollar back."
Well I know that the first episode had nudity, but I'm unsure of the others. What was this 1 about?
shareThe series also is in the prime 2000-2100 slot wednesdays, although the cool languid style of the show does suit the late slot after midnight better.
