Yes I think that's what they will do. They usually only announce stuff a couple of weeks before anyhow. I would have thought there wouldn't be a delay and the date would be the same, given that it's a co production. So it does seem odd but it could mean nothing and just be scheduling, or it could be them not committing.
I can't get my head around BBC1 showing a US production, filmed in LA, with American stars. Usually American stuff is only ever shown on BBC2. I don't know how much of an issue it is, but it would be the first time ever, so they can't do it lightly. They do show British stuff filmed in Europe, but normally it's a British cast, or like that Zen show, a British lead and then a mixed cast.
I also don't see why they couldn't have made it themselves in Wales, they've made plenty of other drama, including new things. I had assumed it was money but clearly not. I presume it was RTD.
