Philip Seymour Hoffman is the first episode!

Strange though, the imdb date is wrong but one was broadcast in January of this year but it wasn't?

Hmm I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Does anyone know if Channel 5 are airing anymore in the UK? ?

[–] Marcvado 8 years ago

I been trying to figure out why the lack of episodes recently despite there being quite few listed here & not appearing on TV. Well it turns out that after finding the official facebook page for the show thats its a bit of mess !!

Autopsy is made in England but an american tv channel called Reelz is funding the episodes & they have decided they want famous americans & so dont think that Phil Hartman or John Belushi or Natalie Wood are well known enough in the UK to bother airing them in the UK. This is the reason why there are lots of episodes listed but only Phillip Seymour Hoffman & Bobbi Kristina Brown have been aired in the UK.

Here a few excerpts from the facebook page:

So it seems episodes are being made specifically for the states now. Here's a question for British viewers ... would you want the American episodes to be screened in the UK ... even if you didn't know who the subjects were?

If they're going to do one on Bruce Lee, then they might as well inevitably also do one on his son Brandon.

It kind of makes sense. The American produced episodes or the ones made specifically for Reelz feature Dr. Michael Hunter. So I wonder if the episodes with Dr. Hunter are technically, part of a separate program (in effect, an American adaptation of a British program if that makes sense)?

Autopsy: The Last Hours of Florence Henderson - New episode premieres Sunday, February 16 at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT. Best known as Carol Brady in The Brady Bunch Florence Henderson died in November 2016 leaving her fans mourning the loss of a mother figure. She was 82 but looking characteristically vibrant on live TV just days before. With a career spanning more than 60 years Henderson was an incredibly multi-talented performer on stage and screen. The last of 10 children she grew up in extreme poverty but by the age of 19 thanks to her remarkable determination and work ethic she became a Broadway star and was rarely out of the spotlight for the rest of her life. By her mid-70s Henderson was suffering from an irregular heartbeat and coronary artery disease leading to major surgery including a procedure just 24 hours before she died. Reports state that she died from complications with her heart that lead to its sudden failure. With the help of Henderson's medical history and eyewitness accounts renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter digs deep to discover what happened to Henderson in her final hours.
