2.3 When/where will Crusade be broadcast on 'normal' tv in the UK?
Channel 4 have now (beginning of September) acquired the broadcast
rights to Crusade. There is no indication yet of when it will be
scheduled.
One problem is that Warners prefer to release the tv movies in the UK
on the video 6 months before the first tv broadcast. Yet A Call to
Arms is important in setting up the premise for Crusade. (Though
episode one of Crusade does have a lot of introductory exposition to
help introduce viewers.)
Paul Bolchover has suggested a possible timetable could be:
Jan 99 - US Airing of "A Call to Arms"
Jun 99 - UK Video release of "A Call to Arms"
[actually released on the 2nd August]
Jan 00 - UK TV rights to "A Call to Arms" become available
[6 months after the video release pushes this back to
March]
Mar 00 - UK TV airing of "A Call to Arms"
Apr 00 - UK TV airing of "Crusade"
