For the first few weeks the BBC2 transmissions followed the original production order, before deviating from week 8 onwards. They never quite got back on track or seemed influenced by any established screening order.

 

The week after The Ghost Talks was screened, BBC2 commenced the rerun of another classic ITC series, The Champions. Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) would return to BBC2 in the autumn of 1995 for a second run:

This mid-afternoon / late morning second BBC2 run appears to have been rather erratically scheduled. It started with a fortnight's break between the first and second episodes before it settled into a weekly pattern for the next few episodes (albeit with the transmission of A Sentimental Journey being pre-empted on 15th November). By December 1995, the decision had been taken to strip the series on weekdays, though after just three episodes, the series was put into hiatus until April 1996, when seven episodes were screened prior to another six-week break, returning briefly in late May. The remaining episodes (bar The Ghost Talks, which was not re-screened in this run) were shown across one week (Monday 24th to Friday 28th June 1996). Congratulations to any viewers (or indeed, readers!) who were able to keep up with that!!!
