The eighth season of Family Guy finally arrives in the UK from tomorrow night starting with a double-bill at 10pm on BBC Three.

Earlier last month Planet Family Guy had a go at predicting the top 20 characters. There's still time for you to add your predictions before tonight's show. Once we've got our hands on the official chart will post it on the site along with a comparison with our very own attempt at the list.
Any episodes from the eighth season you guys are particularly looking forward to/recommend?

You’ve got to give it to the BBC, they may keep us waiting for the new episodes, but when they do air them they do it in style!

@andy, Sunday’s line-up does look the better one to sit down and watch. However, there are some great episodes amongst those being repeated tonight and they have taken them from across the seasons.

Watched it last night, predictable but still funny. Does anyone know what the music is when they do the ‘upside down face’ kid appeal. I am trying to find it and it’s really annoying. Looking forward to tonight. Family guy is the future !

@Samm, thanks for posting those. We’ve made a proper post of the list over here along with a little bit of a comparison with our predictions.

Why is it sayin new eppisodes tonight ive seen these all before like months ago whats going on

@Shaun, this is the first time Road to the Multiverse and Family Goy have been screened on UK television. BBC Three have just started to show season 8; although as robnfw has pointed out to us via Twitter they will form part of the Season 9 DVD collection in the UK due to the confusion of seasons.
In the UK the BBC own the rights to screen new episodes before other networks.
