'The Little Drummer Girl' rakes in 5 million views on its premiere

Taking up the slots of 'Bodyguard' and 'The Cry', is proving to be quite challenging for BBC's adaptation of John Le Carre's 1983 novel 'The Little Drummer Girl'.

Florence Pugh already had a huge responsibility on her shoulders when the BBC adaptation of John Le Carre's 1983 novel 'The Little Drummer Girl' aired on October 28. The show, which holds the same title as the book, follows the young aspiring actress Charlie (played by Pugh) who becomes a matter of interest to the Mossad agents, Marty Kurtz (played by Michael Shannon) and Becker (played by Alexander Skarsgard) when Marty, who is intolerant about the Arab-Israel conflict, is determined to capture a terrorist.
