According to this page: _http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008d2x7/broadcasts they first broad-casted this back in 2007 on Sunday, November 25.

The current broadcast would be the 12th time they air it and there also will be two more repeats soon:

Sun 4 Aug 2013 01:05 BBC Four

Thu 8 Aug 2013 00:00 BBC Four

Yes those upcoming dates/times are correct, i checked my EPG (every programme guide) which told me that it had likely been on air a fair few times back when Kniall last posted about it.
The BBC do this a lot with some programmes & neglect others.
So, 2007 you say? Well just before the stock market crash (i think it was triggered then & then it slowly rippled through to January/February osit) which is 6 years ago, (ish) & there's 1 around the corner, maybe the end of the year? They tend to send out these messages in the media (& for all those who never played modern video games you wouldn't believe how much they've put out there in plain sight - i was shocked) when something is looming.
Of course i'm localizing this to the UK & the topic of the BBC as i only ever paid mild attention to their programming- in every sense of the word, but i'll be on guard for the signs more because after all, they are still a national institution. Thanks for the heads up.

Just to clarify, according to the link-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules/2013/08/07

the programme will be aired on Wednesday night, midnight, 7th August, and not Thusday August 8th at midnight

Dunno about the Sunday night time. It is scheduled for 1:05am according to my EPG, but that link (which i hadn't actually checked until now) doesn't show it, unless they cancelled. My oversight came from trying to listen/watch the programme ('cause the opening made for a "what the?" moment) type & flick through the the EPG, whilst my brain was gearing down for sleep. :zzz: No excuses still, if i had set a reminder for it this automatically highlights the time & would've revealed it to me, did my usual "it's midnight so its the (in this case plus 1!) next day" brain edit. Apologies & thanks. :rolleyes:

No apology required :). Btw, the documentary is no longer available on youtube :( , just in case others were thinking of watching it there.
 
Here in US I could not watch from the BBC web page. Not sure if it's the same show but found this on Y-tube...

Nice catch, Freya. Good sleuthing. It's the same alright ;)

I even spotted a comment under it by Kniall (Niall Bradley) with a reference to Laura's Comets and the Horns of Moses.
