Every Friday, I let you know the latest announcements about when new, imported TV shows will finally be arriving on UK screens – assuming anyone’s bought anything, of course.

A little less going on than last week, but a couple of new acquisitions this week: Fox UK has picked up ‘event series’ Shots Fired, while Netflix has acquired Canada’s Ghost Wars.

And on top of that, we have a premiere date for the aforementioned Very, Very Important Shots Fired.
