Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) was not networked across the whole of the United Kingdom by the ITV regions when it was originally broadcast. This resulted in varying orders and days and times of transmission around the country. Consequently, it can be difficult to present a coherent broadcast guide. Here, we present regional transmission details for London Weekend Television (LWT), the company which owned the broadcast franchise for the London region at weekends (sharing with Thames, who broadcast during the week).

Colour Transmissions: The LWT region's Crystal Palace transmitter switched to colour on Saturday 15th November 1969. It had however conducted a colour test / colour preview over the weekend of 19th-21st September 1969. Therefore, the first episode they transmitted in colour was My Late Lamented Friend and Partner, followed by seven episodes in monochrome, with the ninth in their run, The House on Haunted Hill, being the first screened in colour after the official switchover.
