Oh, the reruns! They’re like comfort food. BBC often airs repeats on Saturdays or Sundays around 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM. It’s the “I forgot to record it” safety net. And if you’re really hooked, they sometimes do a Sunday morning marathon. You know, for the fans who need to watch three episodes in one sitting while eating toast. No judgment here.
But here’s the kicker: the finale is a big deal. That usually airs at the same 9 PM slot, but it might be a 90-minute special. The BBC likes to make you suffer (in a good way). So set a reminder. Phone alarm. Smoke signal. Whatever works.
