Dogs Behaving Very Badly

Dogs Behaving Very Badly has maintained a steady Annual rhythm for 6 years, typically returning in January. Since its full series debut on Channel 5 in 2019, the program has established itself as a reliable mid-winter fixture, consistently premiering its primary seasonal blocks in the first month of the year. This scheduling strategy positions the show as a key component of the network's post-holiday lineup, capitalizing on the high viewership periods of the British winter. The series has demonstrated remarkable consistency, with seasons launching in January for every cycle from 2019 through 2024. While the show occasionally utilizes a split-season format—featuring a primary run in the winter followed by additional episodes or specials in the spring and summer—the January launch remains its historical anchor. This predictable broadcast trajectory has allowed the series to grow into a network cornerstone, recently surpassing the 100-episode milestone while maintaining its core position in the Tuesday night schedule.
