 === Official world premiere episode ===
-On March 17, 2009, Sky One broadcast the season 20 episode "[[In the Name of the Grandfather]]" for the first time - five days before its first broadcast in the United States. The episode, on its showing in the United Kingdom, gathered over one million viewers, something of a rarity nowadays. Sky One has also come close to airing other episodes in a similar way, some episodes broadcasting for their first time on the channel only days after its United States premiere, an example of this being "[[Judge Me Tender]]", from 2010, which premiered on Sky One only three days after its US first-run. It has become more common that a new season gets broadcasted and concludes just before summer for it's full run ever since season 28.
