Poles together

When you're short of cash, and want to get the best from 'tentpole' drama investments, it's usually a good idea to spread the tentpoles out. Piers Wenger and Charlotte Moore seem to have got in a bit of a tangle with their next big shows. 

The final series of Killing Eve, co-financed with BBC America, is going out in the States on Sunday 27th February. However, in the UK, BBC1 on Sunday 27th is committed to the launch of the final series of Peaky Blinders.  So viewers in the UK can access all of Killing Eve on iPlayer from Monday 28th (Monday 28th on BBC1 is tied up with episode 4 of 7 of This Is Going To Hurt), though there is no date yet for a full BBC1 showing. 

In the States, Peaky Blinders is 'A Netflix Original'. The US distribution rights were bought in 2013 by The Weinstein Co (remember him?), but the name was dropped from the credits in 2014. Netflix have not yet announced a release date for Series 6.
