After several years' premiering on ITV3, everyone's favourite maths-themed drama is going terrestrial for season five.
Starting January 9, new episodes of Numb3rs will air Fridays at 10pm on Five.
The same night marks the terrestrial premiere of season five of NCIS. (For those wondering, season six will air on FX from May 2009).
Full details, as always, over on The PLP.

Nope, none of the ITV channels has shown Season 4 yet in any shape or form. Come on....where's Season 4 and what happened to Corby? ;)

I would like to add my views on the fact that series 4 still hasn't been shown here in the UK and when and where are we going to get that please? Great news about series 5 but not much good without series 4.

that is a good question, what will happen to S4 of Numb3rs?, ITV has not shown it, five has not shown it. Is that a mistake in your article?

Great news, but shouldn't that be Season 4? We haven't seen that in the UK yet.

Fantastic news!!! Numb3rs was one of the best for ratings on FIVE US and I have been waiting for a while for the next series on ITV3. I love NCIS but even I was struggling to continue to watch all the re-runs on FIVE. NCIS is gettng close to overtaking CSI in the US as the number 1 drama and will do so (especially as it was a repeat at Thanksgiving) and would therefore be a smart purchase for FIVE (and FX whose ratings will climb as they anticipated).

Hows this big news, Numbers has been on terrestrial (ITV1) for months, and I think this was season 4 as season 3 started on FiveUS at same time. ITV is one season ahead so great news to see season 5 on Five

This is good news, but what about Season 4. Who will be showing that ? (Apart from Channel 6 that is - What/Who is Channel 6 ?)
