Jamie’s Reaction
Another rarely seen BBC series makes its way to Talking Pictures TV! I admire the fact that they seem to be digging deep and pulling out these gems. I can’t say I’m familiar with the series, but the names involved make it an intriguing prospect.
Apparently, this series received low ratings on the first transmission, mainly due to the Summertime airing time. Talking Pictures has positioned its airing as part of Caroline Munro’s Cellar Club late-night strand on its channel. Given the themes of this show, this looks to be a perfect match that will find an audience!
When is Supernatural broadcast on Talking Pictures TV?
Supernatural will first be broadcast on Talking Pictures TV on the 13th of February, as part of Cellar Club. It will air at 9 pm, continuing weekly at the same time. Please check the channel’s website for any schedule updates.
