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 that keeps all of the people happy all of the time. Here, we present regional transmission details for Yorkshire Television, the company which owned the broadcast franchise for the Yorkshire region.

 

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