Apparently they are having a christmas break. The USA are in the period of re-runs that we don’t get in the UK. I guess the Production company (Tribune) want the series to be aired at roughly the same time.
So far, we are one episode ahead of the USA and Canada. We start again in early January (not sure of the date yet, sorry).
Somthing that’s suddenly come to me.. completely off-topic.. whatever happened to the European series, Space Island One? I believe there were 2 series filmed, but I only remember seeing one.
