 The New Avengers — Series 1 & 2

Grampian Television's repeat screenings of The New Avengers were chaotic and irregular, with Series 2 episodes being repeated before Series 1 repeats had concluded. Screenings were also greatly spread out, with the two repeat run taking four and a half years. Episodes are marked • (1) or •• (2), dependent upon which series they were originally a part of.

(7) Seemingly this was Grampian's second repeat of this episode. There is the possibility that the first showings did not go ahead, but the sheer number of apparent second repeats suggests this is not likely to have been the case in all instances.
(8) A third repeat for Sleeper, suggesting perhaps that one of the previous two scheduled repeats on Mondays 2nd June 1980 or 19th October 1981 did not go ahead.
