This news just in that regards the u.k. channel 4 screening on sunday 25th of January. Evil Dead fan John Dowding emailed channel 4 about it and this was his reply......
Dear John,
Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding Evil Dead.
We apologise for the delay in responding to you, after investigating with our distributor it seems that the incorrect version of the film was supplied, and subsequently broadcast. Unfortunately this means we have had to send the version back and we will not be able to broadcast it again, nor do we have any further information regarding the incorrect copy.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, we apologise for any disappointment this information may cause.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact us here at Channel 4 and for your interest in our programming.
Regards,
Steve Reynolds
