Plus, the discussion thread will be full of people complaining about the PQ instead of discussing the actual show......

Very surprised that Ch5 have got this, very surprised indeed. They must clearly have put in a bold bid for the rights. Having said that they treat their US imports appallingly and always have done. The only ones they seem to show respect to is the CSI franchise and The Mentalist.
I do wonder how close to the US airdate they'll show Gotham over here. Definetely going to watch it, but jesus Channel 5 are shite! |

Don't Channel 5 show CSI nearly a year after its been shown in the US though?
Unfortunatly I can see people getting Gotham from other sources and that will effect the ratings so Channel 5 will properly end up getting rid of it after one season because of poor ratings! |

Hopefully C5 will treat it like they do with The Mentalist.

Maybe C5 only have one slot for a "current" US shows and the rest get shown basically whenever they can be bothered. With The Mentalist finished, they could certainly show Gotham close to the US airdates. |

I want to say it is good that the show is being shown in the UK. But with Five's track record, many people will get fed up with the inevitable wait and get the show from other sources instead.
When do Viacom take over? |

It will be aired close to US transmission according to Broadcast.
Great buy potentially for Five. Every broadcaster apart from the BBC expressed an interest. |

If they've paid a lot of money for it, as you'd expect for such a high profile show, you'd hope that would be the case.

I can't believe they outbid Sky??
Let's hope they show it a bit more reverence than they do with Person of Interest. |

Five - not keen on them getting it. I hope they treat it well but given their treatment of previous US imports, I don't see it happening.

Bit surprised 5 got this. It does say air date in the US 22nd sept and on 5 shortly after which is good. Still not sure how gotham will do long term though.

Apparently paying £500,000 per episode after beating off serious competition from C4 & Sky.

Imagine Ch4 dumping Homeland on More4 after a few episodes? They would never do it. Ch5 is run by idiots and they should be firing people left, right and centre. |

I want to believe that Channel 5 will air Gotham close to the US air date however I won't believe it untill Channel 5 confirm when they will start showing it.Channel 5 have build up this reputation because of their previous treatment of US shows.I just hope they prove me wrong with their treatment of Gotham!

How soon into the pilot will they show Bruce's shadow forming a batman shape on a wall.
Also do we think the series is going to be peppered with bat symbols, like, EVERYWHERE. And is MacDonalds bringing out a McBat burger ?

It maybe that Channel 5 wait untill they finish showing the current season of CSI and then replace it with Gotham which would mean that Gotham would start on Channel 5 around the end of October!

According to the DS article, if you'd said late September you would be a lot closer.

The DS article says shortly afterwards and does not say late September maybe you are confusing the US air date with the UK air date!

I would have thought they would go for at least a 2 week gap between US air date and UK, similar to what Sky did with Arrow to try and avoid the first couple of breaks in the series before the xmas break.
