What is After Dark about?
After Dark was a British late night live discussion programme broadcast on Channel 4 television between 1987 and 1997, and on the BBC in 2003. Inspired by an Austrian programme called Club 2, Roly Keating of the BBC described it as "one of the great television talk formats of all time". In 2010 the television trade magazine Broadcast wrote "After Dark defined the first 10 years of Channel 4, just as Big Brother did for the second". The series reflects a distinct GB style and perspective.
Release pattern and schedule for After Dark
After Dark has been releasing episodes between May 1987 and November 1989 across 3 seasons. So far there are 65 released episodes, giving you plenty of story to catch up on before the next drop. Historically there have been longer waits of around 15 months between seasons, which can explain why some fans search early for hints about the next release. Until a new date appears, November 1989 remains the latest confirmed release window for the show.
