Sherlock ABC Sun 9 Rec 20:30 - repeat or not?

[prl]

IceTV has marked Sherlock: The Lying Detective (S4E2), ABC/ABC HD 20:30 Sun 9 Dec as a repeat. The ABC online EPG doesn't have it marked as a repeat. The ABC promo straight after last night's (5 Dec) Would I Lie To You advertised "all new episodes" (spoken) and "New Series" (on screen) of Sherlock starting 20:30 Sun 9 Dec.

Sherlock: The Six Thatchers (S4E1), ABC/ABC HD 01:00 Fri 7 Dec is marked as a repeat on both the ABC and IceTV EPGs. Correctly, I think because I remember the episode).

Is it a repeat of not? I don't recall seeing anything like the synopses on the IceTV and ABC EPGs (which are different from each other),but I'm not sure.

Hi PRL,

Whilst ABC are stating these are new episodes, our database is showing that Series 4 was shown here in November 2017 and is therefore not a new series.  ABC has a habit of marking shows as new (that are in fact repeats) as it may not have been shown on "ABC" before.

Cheers Gai

"Network premiere", then.
