Out of the Blue on Fiver

As you may have heard, though the show has now completed its run in the UK on BBC Two, the digital channel Fiver will now be repeating Out of the Blue from episode one, starting Monday, February 2, 2009. Want to know more? Read on to find out the details.

How can I find Fiver?

Fiver is available on all of the major digital platforms. You can find it on Sky Digital channel 176, Freeview channel 36, Virgin Media channel 152 and Tiscali TV channel 31.

When will the show be airing?

Out of the Blue will be airing three times a day on Fiver. Each episode will air for the first time at 7.30pm, with repeats of that episode airing at 6.45am and 9.25am the next day.

Anything else?

Understandably, some viewers may watch other shows at 7.30pm and be unable to watch the morning episodes. However, don't forget there is also the Fiver+1 channel (Sky Digital channel 177), which airs all of Fiver's shows one hour later. This means that, for viewers who receive this channel, there's three extra opportunities to catch each episode at 7.45am, 10.25am and 8.30pm.

New viewers?

Obviously, Out of the Blue fanatics who are already familiar with the show from BBC Two will be keen to watch each episode again. However, Fiver will be hoping to attract new viewers who missed out on the BBC airings. If you're a new viewer who still needs some convincing that Out of the Blue is worth watching, check out our trailer below to see some of the show's highlights. Be warned that there are some spoilers in the video - so if you don't want to know which character is bumped off in the first week (more on that later), you should avoid pressing play.
