Simpsons started originally on BBC1 on Saturday Night at 5.35 before popping over to BBC2 but also appeared within Live and Kicking.

Anyone know if any S4C programmes have been remade for English language stations?


Not sure if sport really counts, but when Tour De France moved from C4 to ITV they took pretty much the whole team with them - same production team too I think!

When Formula 1 moved from the BBC to ITV, the same technical team from the BBC kept working on it (ITV bought in facilities from BBC Resources). I think some of the production team jumped ship as well.

Tour De France was originally ITV then C$ bought the rights and then C4 actually sold the rest of their licence to ITV - due to the fact they no longer had capavity to show it!!!!! Alyhough I think ITV have now bought their own rights to the race.

Neither I think - it was C4 from start to finish!

Talking of which though - Fort Boyard went from C5 to Challenge (at least one new series was made)
