28 on 4 2


Channel 4's premiere of Season 28 of The Simpsons began on Monday 2nd November, and wrapped up earlier this very week... so here, then, is a hopefully comprehensive guide to their censorship and other points of interest regarding the season, compared to my predictions as to those matters back in September.

A Comedy Fantasy Drama with Bite

30 December, 1998 marks the arrival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on British terrestrial television, with the double-length pilot airing on BBC Two at 8pm, as part of a huge block of other US imports (it followed a double-bill of The Simpsons and a repeat of Star Trek: The Next Generation). Debuting in the nowhere space between Christmas Day and New Year's Day might not be the most promising of scheduling, but nevertheless the show is a success (despite also having to contend with this dreadful trailer).
