It was reported last February that the BBC has secured the rights to broadcast TV3 soap Red Rock and now it's been revealed it will air on their popular daytime slot.

The IFTA winning soap, set in a fictional seaside town just outside of Dublin, will begin broadcasting on the British broadcaster later in the year.

Dan McGolpin, Controller of BBC Daytime, says: "Daytime viewers are in for a treat with Red Rock. It's a compelling new police drama set in Ireland, it has plenty of twists and turns, and it's coming to the BBC this year."

Stephen Driscoll, EVP Media, All3Media International says: "We are very proud to see Red Rock secure a home on the BBC. Red Rock delivers an engaging cast of characters and storylines that will grip audiences with this original mix of family drama and police procedural."

The news comes not long after it was announced that the soap has also been sold to streaming service Amazon Prime in the US.

Pretty impressive, 'ey? G'wan the Red Rock.
