Killing Eve

From Mon 18 May, BBC iPlayer

Last seen on our screens as the Countess of Brockenhurst in ITV costume drama Belgravia, Dame Harriet Walter’s transformation into Russian gymnast-turnedKGB hitwoman Dasha in Killing Eve has been quite remarkable.

Dasha taught Villanelle (Jodie Comer) all she knows about how to be an assassin. And as episode six of Killing Eve lands on BBC iPlayer this week (episode five airs on Sunday on BBC1 HD at 9.15pm), she comes face to face with Villanelle’s nemesis, ex-MI6 agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh).
