Channel 5 will be screening this from the beginning later this month.
Good for Freeview viewers like me that haven't seen it. Will give it a try as I'm a fan of NCIS.
Really? That’s interesting… Sky have the lifetime exclusive rights to NCIS:LA as far as I know, but I guess they’ve sold off the terrestrial rights to Channel 5. The first season is 5 years old now so I guess they are just making some extra money from it (I know they paid a phenomenal amount for the rights originally).
I’ve always thought Channel 5 must be a bit annoyed they missed out on NCIS:LA originally seeing as NCIS does so well for them in the ratings. But now everyone’s a winner – Channel 5 finally get to show it (with the hope it’ll be as successful for them as the original NCIS is) and Sky get some free advertising for the programme while remaining the first place to see the new episodes.
Unfortunately, for technical reasons, we can't bring you tonight's advertised episode of NCIS: Los Angeles. That episode has now been rescheduled for next Sunday. Instead, tonight, we will be re-showing the explosive finale to season four. Many apologies for the inconvenience.
Sky are useless! what technical reason!! and when will we see episode 5??? will they cancel whatever is meant to be on at 8pm next sunday?? eugh no wonder people illegally download.

It wasn't a repeat, it was a new episode. This was brought up last week in the F-O thread and it appears that Anytime had shown this weeks episode instead of last.
I'm a bit confused - are you saying that the episode on 16th Feb was cancelled & a repeat shown in its place? I only ask, because mt Sky+ box failed to record it on that day so I missed what was shown.
The episode last Sunday (25th) was episode 5.
This is one of my favourite shows. Sometimes the story lines are not so good, but I just love the interaction between the characters.

Yes the episode originally scheduled for the 16th (ep 5) wasn't shown due to the fault and a repeat of the season 4 finale was shown in its place
That episode was the one shown last Sunday (23rd) so if you haven't missed an episode

Thank you for the info.
I wonder if this is why my Sky+ didn't record it then? At least I now know I haven't missed an episode, which is good news. I'm actually glad it didn't record the finale of season 4 - that was way too brutal for my taste.

But the end of this Sunday's episode was just too cute!

The comments section makes me laugh though... some are calling it a conspiracy.
Its not like they've only just aired in the States and they couldn't get the transfer in time, these episodes are months old.
Maybe I'm naive in thinking that they get the broadcasters equivalent of a box-set. I guess its all downloaded on a weekly basis?
Im wondering that aswell
It is on.
I'm recording it right now .
I didn't see that before watching the ep. The even more embarrasing thing is that I sat through most of it before realising it was a repeat
That was a repeat. I watched it last week.
In the year 1999 Fry spilt coke on the computer which means the episode doesn't exist.
Wonder if they'll keep the clicky camera sequences around the ad breaks or edit them out like Sky do??

It would be a bit odd for them to air an episode with a "previously on Hawaii 5-0" at the beginning without showing the series.
