The usual time for shows was 4.05-4.50 on Saturday afternoons and 11.30-12.15 on Tuesday nights. Shows were generally recorded midweek for broadcast on the following Saturday and Tuesday.
From mid-October the Tuesday night show was replaced by a Thursday afternoon slot, usually airing from 1-1.30. This did not air every week, with 'Crown Court' or 'Indoor League' filling the slot on occasion.
