Beyonce, Killing Eve and Fleabag lead the Emmy nominations

The nominations for the 2019 Emmys have been revealed, and the flag for British talent has been well and truly flown.

Homegrown shows Killing Eve and Fleabag are among the nods, receiving nine and 11 nominations respectively.

These include noms for lead actress in a drama (Jodie Comer, Killing Eve) and outstanding comedy series (Fleabag).

Both shows are the brainchild of multi-talented actor and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who is up for lead actress in a comedy series for Fleabag herself.

Beyonce is also a surprise edition to the nominations list, with her Coachella concert film Homecoming getting a respectable six noms.
