It was always a blast when the school week ended & I got to stay up later & watch Family Guy with my sister... Even though I was too young for it, but nobody really cared.

BBC Three Continuity Saturday 20th December 2008

[@theaidandohertychannel268]

on the BBC 2 and BBC Three airings the Family Guy credits had The had a Bbc website comedy site and later Family Guy on screen I think this continued until about season 10. also the first seven Seasons was in Pal speed but around season 8 or 9 they went Pal pitch but when the show was shown on ITV2 the old episodes were now in Pal pitch instead of Pal speed.

Why was Family Guy presented in 14:9 pillarbox as opposed to 4:3 cut-out mode?

[@superlegendary]

From what I recall, on the Sky/Freesat feed of BBC Three, Family Guy was presented as full 4:3 with the picture properly filling the whole screen on a 4:3 TV (although it would appear as stretched if you were watching on a widescreen TV). It's just on the Freeview feed of BBC Three where it was presented as pillarboxed. That seems to have persisted with many other shows in 4:3 that aired on BBC Three, where it would fill the whole screen on Sky/Freesat, but be pillarboxed on Freeview, no idea why this discrepancy happened though.

@@superlegendary Some Freeview decoders support BBC's 4:3 cut-out mode when an older black and white movie airs on BBC2 and Family Guy airs on BBC3 and some don't. They were played out at the same transmission facility, Red Bee Broadcast Centre, White City. BBC1 and BBC2's analogue support 4:3 cut-out mode for sporting coverage (i.e. Wimbledon) until its switch-off in 2012.
