Years ago the ABC showed the BBC show Absolutely Fabulous, IIRC, the same day that it was shown in the UK, which allowed enough time for UK papers to get details on the shows and publish spoilers in their newspapers.
The ABC ended up being asked to delay transmission by a week to prevent spoilers getting to the larger UK audience.
