Yep, same in Ireland. The Irish national station RTE was ahead of the BBC in
showing TP and screened the two hour final episode. It was funny to watch the
two hours on RTE and a week or more later expect to see the two hours on BBC,
you know, to catch up on any bits I missed, only to find that it was two
separate episodes and I had to wait another week to see the second part.
I think splitting it in two was a really bad idea, it worked much better as a
two hour slot.
