Hi all, To everyone in the UK, I have found the schedule info for Meteorite Men being broadcast in the UK. The channel is called 'Quest' which is a Discovery channel without having the 'Discovery' name. Its on Sky channel 154 and on Freeview channel 38.
It airs on Monday nights at 21:00hrs, episode 2 is being shown Monday 1st March and episode 3 on Monday 8th March. Thats as far as the schedules show on the website (www.questtv.co.uk) so i assume it will carry on each week at the same time and that episode 1 has already been shown. Make a date in your diaries folks!
