BBC Promotes ‘The Capture’ Season Two To Coveted Bank Holiday August Slot
09.08.2022 - 20:07 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: The BBC is betting big on season two of Heyday Television’s deepfake spy thriller The Capture, promoting it to the coveted Bank Holiday weekend 9pm slot that in recent years has been occupied by Bodyguard, Peaky Blinders and Vigil.
Deadline can exclusively reveal the scheduling for this year’s August Bank Holiday Sunday, which sees Ben Chanan’s Holliday Grainger-starring six-parter graduate from a Tuesday 9pm slot where it posted average rating of nearly 7.5M viewers per episode and was BBC iPlayer’s most requested new title across all genres of 2019. Season two will drop on U.S. streamer Peacock in November.
Season one’s audience increased through the run and Rebecca Ferguson, BBC Drama Commissioning Editor, said it was this “word of mouth” that partly drove the scheduling decision.

“You have to use your brain but it’s not so intellectual that you can’t relish the pleasure of the entertainment factor,” said Ferguson. “The new slot is testament to quality. When you get to the end of the summer and sit down on Sunday night, you want to watch something gripping and The Capture is just that.”
Chanan said he is “very excited and a little terrified” by the Bank Holiday upgrade.
Although linear TV ratings have been sliding in recent times, the slot remains highly coveted and has attracted millions of viewers to the likes of Peaky Blinders and Jed Mercurio’s Bodyguard over the past few years.
The Capture season one, which also starred The Crown’s Ben Miles and Ron Perlman, followed Lance Corporal Shaun Emery (Callum Turner), who, upon return from Afghanistan, found himself accused of the
