Well Dancc all the information I've seen about why Once Upon A Time was dropped state that it was more to do with the price charged by the US network for the show rather than bad ratings!

I've been watching CSI on Channel 5 for a while and the past few years they have moved it back untill its now a year behind the US.This isn't a one off that they have just done this year!

May I ask Dancc are you employed by Channel 5?

If so can you tell us when Gotham is going to start?

Latest issue of Sci-Fi Now has Gotham on the cover with interviews from Ben McKenzie, Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon.

Netflix is apparently paying $1.75 million per episode for worldwide rights, so I guess they liked the pilot. http://deadline.com/2014/09/gotham-netflix-deal-826991/

That's less than the $2 million per episode they recently agreed to pay for The Blacklist. I can see Gotham having even more worldwide appeal than The Blacklist. Netflix probably got a discount on Gotham for buying it before it has proven itself.

They certainly seem to have a lot of confidence in it.

If only Netflix could show it *before* Channel 5 instead of *after*

Maybe C5 will do right by the show. Here's hoping they do.

Well that's good news that Netflix have got the rights to show Gotham after Channel 5 so once Channel 5 drop Gotham at least it will be still shown in the UK on Netflix!

So Channel 5 show a teaser advert for Gotham before CSI tonight which hopefully means that they plan to start showing it soon!

The rumours seems to be October, so hopefully the first week of that.

SFX have a review of the pilot episode in their latest issue, they didn't seem too impressed with it.

Sean Pertwee`s in it - It`s doomed!

It'll take more than Sean Pertwee to sink this show I think/hope.

Anyways, the synopsises for the first three episodes ....

Episode 1: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/09/got...s-release.html
Episode 2: http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/09/got...yle-press.html

How will the UK ad agencies cope while he`s away playing a cut-price Michael Caine? Who else can do the voiceovers for bog-roll, holidays and Sky TV?

Perhaps Viacom might start treating their US imports better than the current owners do otherwise the slightest dip in ratings will see it getting dicked around in the schedule.

Great, now I'm worried about C5's treatment of this show again.

I'm still expected it to be shown on Channel 5 around the end of October replacing CSI once that finishes!

Also Channel 5 don't tend to announce start date for shows Untill about 2 weeks before they start showing them!
