Filming of the latest series of Peaky Blinders and Line of Duty, two of the most popular shows on British television, has been postponed as the UK film and TV production industry starts to grind to a halt in the face of the spread of the coronavirus.
The makers of Peaky Blinders, which stars Cillian Murphy and Helen McCrory, have decided not to start filming the sixth series of the cult show.
Production of the sixth series of Line of Duty began in Northern Ireland last month.
The UK film industry is similarly affected, as Disney has announced a pause on the production of Batman, starring the Twilight actor Robert Pattinson, and The Little Mermaid, both of which are being shot in the UK.
