More shopping

The BBC continues to promote its purchases of imported programmes. 

It's bought all five seasons of The Bold Type, following three New York women working on a top women's magazine, made by Universal TV for Freeform, part of Disney. It started in 2107, and finished in 2021 - and has previously been available in the UK to download from Amazon Video, Apple TV, and Google Play Movies. 

A second acquisition is four-part Australian drama Bad Behaviour, produced for streaming service Stan in February this year.  It was made by Matchbox Pictures, part of NBC. 

 
BBC Head of Programme Acquisition, Sue Deeks says: “We are delighted that these two series are joining our BBC Three and iPlayer line-up – they are very different in tone, but both feature characters that viewers will empathise and engage with as they deal with the complexities of life.”
