There was a short trailer issued alongside the announcment.

Though I think this will suit me, I don't think I really like this. One would imagine the BBC (and Disney+) viewing data would see that this could work, but I think the proliferation of content and spoilers circulating before the average British person has woken up will be hard to avoid.
I'm also not a fan of having two episodes airing on the first day. This has reduced an already shorter series to seven weeks. I guess this is designed to get the whole series out of the way before Euro 2024, but seems a waste.

Again, what’s your source for this?

Evidently there are international considerations to be made, which is to be expected given the partnership with Disney+, but we have literally seen no evidence whatsoever to support what you’re suggesting here.

Even without the Disney+ deal, there’s certainly a possibility the BBC would have gone for an iPlayer first strategy anyway - which would mean the episodes landing on iPlayer at a random time in the morning in any case.

I'd presume the fact that episodes are premiering in the middle of the night UK time would be their evidence.

There was suggestions ahead of the Flux series that that would be released first on iPlayer, but that never transpired.
