OK, here's the reply I recieved from Sky One - the question basically being "Can Sky show Futurama before Fox, and when will we see the next new episode": [message moved for legal reasons, can now be found at http://www.nickshearer.co.uk/sky.htm ] Good news, I guess - but it still doesn't tell us when we'll see The Sting, and other new S5 episodes.

Originally posted by PCC Fred: The plot thickens. According to the monthly Sky magazine, "The Sting", "Bend Her" and "THe Fanrsworth Parabox" will air on Sky during May. Wow! now if that was true, I'd be over the moon, but after their false advertising on TV I'm not so sure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see ...

Sky (finally) got back to me, confirming what we'd already guessed was going to happen. Quote: The last new episode from Season 5 was broadcast on the 27/4/03 [in the UK]. Fox have stopped broadcasting Futurama in the US, therefore, we have had to put the episodes on hold until the US continue again with Season 5 [...we] can also confirm that from 4/5/03, Sky One will be broadcasting repeats from Season 3 in the same slot.
It doesn't say when Sky 1 will resume S5 broadcast, but it's unlikely to be on the same day as the US (because the time difference would mean the UK would still broadcast the episode first). I'm guessing that my first email I recieved was either a c*ck up by Sky, or was mis worded (perhaps they meant to say "Sky have the licence to broadcast S5, but Fox would get really pissed off, so we chose not to" )... The full email and previous correspondance is available here.

Ah well. Fun ride while it lasted . They're probably rebroadcasting from Season 3 because of the fact the DVDs will be released at the beginning of June, so they want to get them out now when the ratings won't be as bad. Once again, thanks, sheep.
