  • Research needed with regards to a US sitcom!

    I am specifically asking for information about whether the US sitcom “Friends” was ever aired in the UK in 1997.

    I am not interested in when it was started or when it was aired in the USA. This is a specific query.

    "Friends" sitcom - Was it ever aired in the UK in 1997??


    IF IT WAS NEVER AIRED IN THE UK ANY TIME IN 1997 THEN THAT EVIDENCE COULD BE RATHER HELPFUL TO AN APPEAL.


    Can anybody please help to research this?

    Doesn't say it was specifically shown in 1997 though.

      Hi Yahoo states 1st aired in the UK 1st episode 28.4.1995.
      It started in USA 1994 and the Uk was the year after 28.4.95 and ran for 10 years.
      So it would have been aired in UK 1997 and was season 3 episodes

            There's 67 pages.

            Which page is it on? I was directed to the document (page 4) on Facebook but it doesn't give specifics. Does it say which month(s)?

              Hi RF it was launched in 1995 on channel 4 according to Channel 4 brief tv history http://www.channel4.com/about_c4/foi...ef_history.doc


              1995

              Brookside figures reached a peak of 9 million with the story of the Jordash family. Launch of Hollyoaks, Red Light Zone, Father Ted .The Last Temptation of Christ attracted the largest number of complaints ever. Oscars were received for the Madness of King George. Friends and ER were launched.

                AAARRRGGHHH! I am asking about 1997 not 1995.

                Can you find anything about 1997 and if so, specific months in 1997?

                Thanks. Much appreciated

                  Sorry, I read it wrong but realised to late to edit.
                  I had a good look and there doesn't seem to be any TV archive for channel 4 programmes. Maybe a library that has an archive of old newspapers if you know the month and year? You could check the TV pages

                    Just heard from Channel 4. Not helpful

                    It started in February 1997 and ran throughout the year. Oh well, it was worth a shot!

                    Thanks all for your input!

                      Hope this works. Page 19/20 clearly states that friends was 3rd in the top 20 in 1997, channel 4. Tried to send the PDF but exceeded the file size limit.

                            Yes definitely. The devil is in the detail and it can be something like disproving the FA lies if perhaps the show hadnt been shown during the alleged event it would really help.
