Official schedules have revealed that the police drama will launch in a 1.45pm slot on BBC One on Monday, July 11, taking the space usually occupied by Doctors.

A BBC spokesperson told Digital Spy that the soap will shift to BBC Two during the Olympics in August, although exact schedule details have yet to be confirmed.

The BBC has picked up the first series of Red Rock, which launched on TV3 in Ireland to much praise last year. The series consists of 80 episodes, which have been merged into forty 40-minute episodes for UK audiences.

Red Rock centres around a busy Garda station in a fictional seaside town in Dublin, charting the lives and dramas of the local community through the eyes of those who police it.

Doctors, which usually airs in the 1.45pm slot on BBC One, is on a transmission break until the autumn.

Maybe this'll help fill in the gap in my TV schedule left by EE. I'll have to try and remember to set my box to record it.

I have watched this and have throughly enjoyed it. They are already on Series 2 in Ireland.

Its a good replacement for The Bill
