I am not sure how true this will turn out to be but there are a lot of
rumblings around other Buffy newsgroups that Channel 4 have bought Angel!!!
It seem that it will be shown on their T4 show - but I thought that was
their Saturday morning show? I hope it isn't Angel on kids TV? Come on it
would be cut to bits. Also none of the linked episodes will work it would
all be out of sink etc! Why couldn't the beeb buy it, it will really spoil
the shows - they are not designed to air separately.

Anyway maybe it is not true - although people have claimed to have wrote to
Channel 4 themselves and got a "yes we have it!" reply.

As I understand it, T4 is their digital channel (or somethng like
that..) and yes, it has been confirmed, C4 have buffy, not the BBC
(check deja for a lot more stuff on that subject..) They aren't designed
to air separately, but speaking from experience (live in Holland, Angel
has been on for 10 eps now, Buffy S4 for only 4, I think..) it doesn't
really matter. The crossovers don't need each other really (spoils a
little, but eps can be watched without having seen the other, no
problems..)

Its true, sorry. Unless some kind of miracle happens. Dunno when they
plan on airing it..

And whoever posted this is not conforming to the agreement with
AllAdvantage, spamming newgroups and all...should get reported, really,
but I'm too lazy to check if I'm right and way to lazy to actually do
it..

T4 is just what channel 4 call their programmes on a Sunday morning, its a
collection of lots of shows aimed at teenagers, and it currently has Dawsons
Creek as its main show, which I beleive will be replaced by Angel when
series 3 of DC ends. There was speculation that Angel would be on E4, which
is the new digital channel made by channel 4, but im not sure how true this
is anymore. . .

There is no way that 'Angel' can be shown on a Sunday morning. It is
much too dark and would be cut to ribbons. It needs a nine o'clock slot,
or later, like on Sky at the present time.
