    BBC to put major new drama series on iPlayer before it airs on TV
    The Living And The Dead "box-set" will appear online two weeks before the first episode on TV.



    While the BBC is increasingly choosing to air new programmes on iPlayer before they appear on TV, the broadcaster has typically restricted output to low-risk shows and specials. However, with its new supernatural drama, The Living And The Dead, the Beeb has decided it's time to change that mindset -- it'll debut all six episodes this Friday (June 17th), two weeks before they start being broadcast on TV.

    The show, created by Life on Mars duo Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham, will become the first primetime BBC drama to delay traditional broadcasts in favour of a "binge-watch" model utilised by Netflix and Amazon. Earlier this month, New Blood became the first drama series to make select episodes available online first, but Peter Kay's Car Share was the earliest BBC programme to premiere exclusively on iPlayer.
    The Living And The Dead "box-set" will be available online from June 17th, with weekly episodes appearing on BBC One at 9pm from June 28th.

    Just finished the last two episode of this, which are the best of the season.

    Episode 1 to 4 are character establishing with some side stories/plots thrown in.

    Spoiler for next season (if there is one?): -
    Episode 6 ends with a big twist to setup for the next season, with some unanswered how is that possible events.

    Really enjoyed this show.
