Just a quick question, I need this info for the SpoilerFaq.

Will Channel 4 be airing Angel S2 and if yes, when do they start. Or
have they already started? Or have they dropped the show altogether
after last year's debacle?

already be guessed from the way they treated their second run of
S1, putting it on later and later on Monday night / Tuesday
morning, 1am, 2am, 3am... didn't exactly look like a show they
intended to continue with, or get their viewers psyched up for
the new season.

This would all be fine, if BBC TWO would just pick up Angel and
start showing it in widescreen alongside and in-sync with their
BtVS S5 run which has just started last week. But for some
reason, they seem not to have done so, so at this time it remains
unclear when, where, and ideed *if* Angel S2 will ever be shown
on UK terrestrial TV at all.

Ho hum,

I know what you mean. The way they show ANGEL on Channel Four is
really annoying: in the midile of the night, chopped up, on different
days. It makes me really glad I have SKY!

I assume they mean the poor scheduling and excessive cutting of the
show

Channel 4 put the episodes on at 6pm and cut them to shreads and also got
slapped for the content being shown at that time of day. Being that the
video box release had 18 certificate, what did they expect?
