Edinburgh TV Fest Goes For Public Preview Screenings

The Edinburgh TV Festival will this year preview some of the hottest new TV shows to the public, using a giant screen at Conference Square just behind the International Conference Centre. The festival runs from August 25th-27th

The screenings - traditionally broadcast to delegates as part of the festival - will be simulcast on a giant screen, giving free previews of  the latest US series up to six months before they premiere in the UK, even  ahead of their broadcast premiere in the US.

Preview lineup includes Lovespring International, a new comedy from Will & Grace star Eric McCormack (due to air on Sky One); Aaron Sorkin's drama Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip (Channel 4); legal drama Shark (Five) and a new episode of BBC One's Planet Earth.
