Strange. The BBC showed the first of the final two episodes
two days after it had first aired in the US. The last
episodes were aired in the US after a long delay because the
BBC had caught up rapidly by showing both series without a
break, except for a couple of weeks at christmas.

Are you really claiming that RTE showed the final episodes
before the US viewers saw them, and more, that no-one in
either the UK or Ireland has mentioned that until now.
That includes the Irish members of the very active UK
based mailing list at the time.
