We would love to buy sadly we do not sell any of the series we show. You'd need to contact BBC Worldwide or a High Street retailer.

Hi there,

We did show Bread in a more prominent time slot back in January and February but too many people didn't take to it. We moved it earlier and more people have tuned in.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Benidorm is in the hands of one of our rival broadcasters at the moment, but as soon as it becomes available we will certainly look into snapping it up.

Thanks,

GOLD

Hi there,


Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister was written by Sir Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn.


Thanks,

Hi there everyone,

Bread has completed it's current run on GOLD, from Series 1 to Series 8, and has been replaced with May to December. We do prefer to give series a little breather before we begin a complete run again.

Bread will be starting a new run from scratch in January.

Thanks,

GOLD

Hi there!

We would love to show Kiss Me Kate again but unfortunately this show was written by and starring Chris Langham. If you're not aware, he has since been convicted of various things and we are advised not to show his series again. It is a real shame, seeing as it was a great series, but we feel a few people would protest at our showing programmes of this nature again.

Many thanks and keep watching!

Right, here we go.


Before I list them you'll notice they are in a higgedy-piggledy order and the start times are all over the place, so apologies if you're trying to set your Sky+. With Christmas Specials the length of the shows are all over the place and so it's not as easy to schedule them.


This list is provisional and TX times are subject to change, but probably won't:



1990 “Barry’s Christmas” – 3rd December, 2pm and 8:20pm


**1991 “Situation Vacant” – 7th December 2:15pm and 8:20pm


**1992 “Stop that Castle” – 9th December 1:40pm and 4pm and 15th December 10:40am and 4pm


1993 “Welcome to Earth” – 10th December 1.40pm and 8.20pm and 13th December 8am and 6.20pm


**2001 “Potts in Pole Position” – 11th December 1:40pm and 7pm


**1997 “There Goes the Groom” – 14th December 1:40pm and 7:40pm


**1994 “The Man Who Nearly Knew Pavarotti” – 15th December 11:20am and 4:35pm


1996 “Extra! Extra” – 17th December 12:40pm and 8pm


1987 “Big Day at Dream Acre” – 18th December 1:20pm


1985 “Uncle of the Bride” – 19th December 9:05am and 2:15pm


**1995 “A Leg Up for Christmas” – 19th December 10:55am and 20th 8:45am


**1999 “Last Post and Pigeon” – 20th December 10:05am and 2pm


1983 “Getting Sam Home” – 21st December, 11:35am



Anything with a ** has never been on the channel before.


Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Hi there,

We have a whole host of Last of the Summer Wine Christmas Specials darted all over December. I'll bring you more detailed info in due course.

GOLD

Hi there,

GOLD here, and we hear you.

We do try our best to get brand new shows onto the channel and will be bringing new titles into the schedule next year.

On the subject of Only Fools and Horses, the moment we take the show off we have demands that we put ti back on again! we love the show and, admittedly, we do show it alot, but it shows no sign of waining.

We are looking into acquiring favourites such as Hi-De-Hi, but for reasons I won't bore you with it isn't that easy to acquire them. But we are trying!

We strive to schedule programmes that resonate with as many of our viewers as possible and we are constantly investigating avenues of bringing new content in. Unfortunately some of the titles, such as Murder Most Horrid, were simply not popular enough to stay on the channel

2010 should be a great year for GOLD and variety, so stay tuned!

Thanks

G.O.L.D

Well, Uncles, I can only apologise for not being in more contact with you. The new eps of Last of the Summer Wine have been a huge hit and I hope you'll be catching the pilot episode on Monday.


Sadly we have no control over the release of these shows on DVD. That's something you'll have to take up with BBC Worldwide!


As for what series we think we're showing, we're adamant it's 21-25! But BigUnc thinks otherwise. The mis-ordering (and original miss-billing) stems from the fact that Series 9 and 10 were jammed together to make one, 12-episode series. We still count them as two separate series whereas the likes of Wikipedia and IMDB call it as one. So all subsequent series are out by one, and we seem to think we're a series ahead of you.


Confusing and, if I may say so myself, tedious.


We'll have Series 26-30 (in new money, 25-29 in old money) next year.

Hi all,


There have been a few Last of the Summer Wine anomolies of late. We have always intended to show series 21 to 25 this autumn but a few hitches made this a bit complicated.


Our listings were one series off, in other words Series 21 was billed as Series 20. We have corrected that.


Another hitch was the delay in hetting Series 23. So our new series on weeknights in November have been 21, 22, 24 and 25. We have now secured 23 and will show them from Sunday 8th November at 19:00, continuing on Saturdays and Sundays 19:00-21:00 (against that blasted X-Factor!)


We also have a selection of Christmas Specials in December (when we really crank up the specials) from 1990-2001.


Apologies for the hitches but we got there in the end!


Next year we;ll have further series of LOSW on GOLD. Stay tuned!


You can see the PILOT episode of LOSW and Series 1 on MONDAY 2nd NOVEMBER at 8am and 12:40pm.


Thanks!
