According to Sky Programme Information, the Worlds Strongest Man Events from 2009 and 2010 will go out over the Royal Wedding Bank Holiday weekend - "LIVE". Hmmmm.

There is also a promo shown on Pick TV at the moment saying that Challenge is now available on Freeview.

Argh, Challenge are showing the recent Sky1 series of Gladiators - which is perfectly okay, but rather than showing it in line with the LWT series, they're showing them concurrently, both in the EPG as "Gladiators". Bit annoying, since I don't really care for the newer series.
Worse still, all episodes (of either series) are described as "fast-paced action contest" in the EPG. Helpful, that.

The Sky1 Gladiators was previously shown on Sky Three. It only lasted two series on Sky One.
Quite a lot of revivals of the last few years don't seem to make it past their second series. Dr Who is the obvious exception to the rule.

Seems that they have 1990 to 1995 just now. These have been on rotation for quite a while now as well.
What series of Bullseye does Challenge have the rights to show at the moment?

I think they're coming to the end of the 1995 ones then. The two episodes that were on last night were repeated just as challenge launched on freeview and they rewinded back to an earlier series the day after,

"S1 Dummy Deal"
I really hope this isn't the case but it sounds as though it might be the c.2000 Sky1 series (although Sky have a series of their own with Bob Holness too).
EDIT: Hang on, Wipeout has the same episode identifier, along with the surely erroneous description: "Streetwise Detroit detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) pursues a colleague's killer to snooty LA, causing mayhem and migraines for local cop Judge Reinhold.". Reminds me a little of the 'Midnight Mass' incident last Christmas

Oooh good news, the last time it was on Challenge they pretty much had the 1992 series on loop, so given their record I'd guess it'll be something rather similar.
I didn't mind the Liza Tarbuck version of Blockbusters, but the Bob Holness episodes rule, enough said.
