In the US: Sundays, Showtime, 10pm ET/PT
In the UK: Coming soon to Channel 4
Now here’s curious. We have a co-production between UK network Channel 4 and US cable network Showtime. It’s made by British production company Ecosse Films. It’s filmed in Britain. It’s set in Britain. It’s cast is almost entirely British.
But it’s airing in the US first.
How’s that work then?
More to the point, it’s also very British – very Channel 4, in fact – which makes me wonder what Showtime sees in it. We have a family, headed by David Morrissey, who have to enter the witness protection programme. They wind up in Kent in a strange little town called Meadowlands populated by strange little people. And it’s all very, very bleak – and very very strange.
