Hi
How are you doing!?
First of all please dont add broadcast network info to a show that's premiering in its entirety on a Web channel first. Also just wondered were the confirmed transmission dates are for the next 3 episodes of the show, especially since episode 5 is 86 minutes long and you've added the alternate episode as been 60 minutes.

Thanks

Hello, Tom!
I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I wish the same for you.
According to BBC's website, all episodes are 59 minutes long, that rounds up to 60.
Feel free to check for yourself: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, Episode 5.
Admittedly, I haven't watched any of the episodes. I simply trusted the accuracy of the information found on BBC's website which should be considered an official source.
As for the broadcast dates, the information derives from several websites, including but not limited to NationalWorld. At the bottom of the page you may read: "Idris Elba's Fight School is a five part series, with the first episode airing tonight, on Sunday 17 April, on BBC Two at 9pm. Following episodes will then air on the subsequent Sunday evenings on the same channel and at the same time."
Lastly, thank you for letting me know that I shouldn't add broadcast network info to a show that's premiering in its entirety on a web channel first. Greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reaching out to me! Take care! :)

Yeah all good here thanks.
The issue is the final episode is in fact 86 minutes long, how that will look when BBC Two actually broadcast is we won't know until they announce the official schedule.

The BBC should be considered an official source, however National World would not be. The show may air every Sunday but we have no idea past the airdates officially announced for the first two episodes if the time slot will be the same or not. Which is why we should always use the official information announced by the networks and not secondary sources.
All of this information including not adding the broadcast network to shows airing on a web channel first is available in the sites data policies here:

It is a slight concern that these policies haven't been followed in this instance, so please bear that in mind when editing in future.
Thanks for your time and if you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me or any other staff member in the forums.
Thanks
Tom
