Thanks for that post, it was a bit of an enlightenment about the odd order we got for the third season in the UK. As stated in a bit more detail on the CBR comments, the initial screening here jumped back and forth across the third season, in part because the number of slots allocated couldn't handle the multi-part stories (only four slots left at the end of the initial Live & Kicking run after doing the first two seasons, then only nine slots allocated during the school summer term) and we got oddities like the X-Men mourning Jean out of nowhere and Dark Phoenix skipped.
It's the sort of headache that gets the fans all writing complaints and in turn can get the international broadcasters complaining that the show isn't flexible enough to stop and restart when necessary.
