I was wondering what was going to happen to it broadcast wise, seeing as BBC3 is still due to be axed as a Freeview channel and moved to an online / youth tv platform later this year.

I'd wondered whether they would have moved it to BB2 on a Sunday night slot, but I'd rather it be readily available on ITV2 & Freeview than being signed up exclusively to Sky via the Fox network (which was rumoured at last year) or being thrown away on some stupid distant corner of the BBC website / iplayer.

Wonder if there'll censor bits like C4 does with The Simpsons. Assume there will be loads of adverts as well.

Good that it's not gone to PPV only though.

Based on other shows on ITV2 like Celebrity Juice it's highly unlikely it would get edited. I'd guess it will be shown in the same way C4 do The Simpsons with 1 ad break about 10-12 minutes in.

BBC showing their final season, before it moves to ITV2 later this year, starting at 9.45PM tonight on BBC2 having moved from BBC3. Should be "The Simpsons Guy" episode.
