Dick van Dyke Show in the UK - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Bit of an odd question but I was wondering if anyone knows any original airdates for the seasons in the UK. I don't need an exact day, channel and time (but it'd help!), but at least the month and year that each season began - ie. were they heaps behind the US or just a few months? If anyone knows that'd be great

Odd question? Not really, CalvertFan. But then to us Americans, you Aussies are walking upside down anyway, get it (opposite side of the globe)? Oh well, I guess I'm no comedy writer.
Here's some info for you. I hope it helps:

US dates: 3 Oct 1961-1 June 1966
*UK dates: 4 July 1963-16 Sep 1967 (157 episodes) BBC1 Thu 8.50pm then various days and times

Here's my source:
BBC Comedy Guide
This info is at the bottom of the page.

upside down and back-to-front yes...but at least we don't have Christmas at a ridiculous time like Winter

Thanks SO much for that Steve - I didn't realise the info would be so easy to find! I'm eternally grateful

I'm trying to imagine going to the beach at Christmas.

It just doesn't work for me!!!

You're eternally welcome, CalvertFan!
By the way, you'll notice there were only 157 episodes shown on BBC1. I know you're no more Brit than I am, but do you have any idea which one of the eps might not be shown and why? Could it be one of the eps starring British actors Bernard Fox or Richard Dawson in which they played particularly lecherous characters with an eye for Laura (just guessing)?

I noticed that too, but I'd have absolutely no idea which episode it was. I did try a little googling but got nowhere, fast.

OK, now that's gonna start bugging me

And I actually spent last new year's at the beach for a week Lolac! A nice hour's drive away
