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 Ulster Television, the company which owned the broadcast franchise for the Northern Ireland region.

 

This information is incomplete. If you can accurately update the information for the Ulster Television region, please do get in touch.
