Thanks to raymond for posting the following news in the forums.

Sky are introducing a new Comedy channel (replacing their channel 'alt') on April 1st; it will be airing episodes of The Goodies. 

raymond said he was unable to see detailed information about the channel's schedule, since he isn't a Sky subscriber, but the TV Guide shows The Goodies on Thursday at 1pm.

If anyone has more info about Sky's schedule let us know!


UPDATED 31 March:
raymond has kindly supplied this update:

Looking through the latest TV Guide (in NZ), it appears:

Sky 10  (Comedy Central)

Thursday:  1pm  --> 1:30pm
Sunday:    7pm  --> 7:30pm

  The first Sunday episode is listed as being the first Goodies episode (Beefeaters), so I'm guessing they are starting at the beginning, with the first showing of an episode on the Thursday, and a repeat the following Sunday.

  They have a 30min slot for the programme -- so it's not likely to be the original 30 minute BBC broadcast, but the cut down episodes for ad based channels?
  ... hopefully I'm wrong.

  Since Sky NZ is an off branch of Sky Australia, we'll probably be getting what was in Australia a while ago.  (haven't been reading about what's playing there).
