Killing Eve dominated at the television Bafta nominations, but only because the awards body bent their own eligibility criteria.
A spokesperson said: “Bafta’s television committee deems Killing Eve a British series.
However, Killing Eve should not have been legible for those awards as Bafta rules state that a show must first be broadcast in the UK before anywhere else in the world.
“You couldn’t have a more British show than Killing Eve,” he said.
