Peter Kay's Car Share

Jumping on the binge-watching trend, the broadcaster will make the costume drama available as a box set on Friday, two weeks before its premiere on linear television.   

The BBC previously released the smash hit comedy Peter Kay's Car Share on iPlayer ahead of its terrestrial transmission, but this is the first time it has done this with a drama.

No Such Thing As The News aims to "do for the news what QI does for the universe at large: making the apparently dull interesting, the obscure clear and the frightening comprehensible” a QI spokesman told Chortle.
