Buffy on BBC2 has been snookered by sport once more.

Due to various sporting events, including the Snooker World Championshiops, the Slayer won't be back on our screens until 8th May. The final four episodes should be screened uninterrupted after that.

Although it's not his fault, snooker star Steve Davis was kind enought to send this apology to the fans:

"I'm sorry so much of this 'interesting' web site gets devoted to snooker at this time of year - it won't be long before sci-fi hits back with a vengeance."

In other scheduling news, it appears that Season Seven of Buffy will debut in the late summer, around ten weeks after Season Six concludes. At present there are no repeats planned to bridge the gap.
