The BBC is also forced to launch an accompanying booklet about Cecil Rhodes as the series assumes a prior knowledge of the figure and many viewers are unfamiliar with him.[50]

Wella had renewed its sponsorship of Baywatch with ITV earlier in the year, but the show was pulled from its Saturday evening timeslot after only eight of the scheduled twenty-two episodes were shown with Sabrina the Teenage Witch, set to air from 23 November. ITV says the decision was taken because it began airing Baywatch earlier than planned after a previously scheduled programme, SeaQuest 2032 did not prove as popular with viewers as anticipated, this led to episodes of Baywatch catching up with their airdates in the US. ITV says the programme will return in 1997 while Wella will continue its sponsorship.[64]
  • 23 November – The BBC picks up the terrestrial rights to The Simpsons, which is first shown at 5:30pm on BBC1 with a Sunday lunchtime repeat on BBC2.
