'JERICHO' EPIC TV SERIES
TODAY'S WILDERNESS, TOMORROW'S FUTURE
We continue reminding you of all the epic series beginning around New Years, starting today with ITV's JERICHO which will air in January starring Jessica Raine and Hans Matheson. Set in the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s, the 8 part drama focuses upon the shanty town of Jericho, home to a community that will live, thrive and die in the shadow of the viaduct they’ve been brought together to build.
Rough, rustic and remote with a carnival atmosphere, Jericho is a community of pioneers, settlers and outcasts, people with secrets to hide and those looking to start again.

DeleteFinally Dickensian is going to air! I'm just about certain that is going to be fantastic. Not sure how long I'll have to wait to see it, but when it shows up, I'll binge watch it straight through.
ReplyDeleteI will most probably download it, dear, at least the first eps to see if it grabs me, but it probably will :)
DeleteI'd normally not be too interested in something like that, but the trailer was pretty intriguing!
ReplyDeletewhich one?
DeleteThe intriguing one. Hello!

DeleteInteresting they decided to start the Dickens series after Christmas rather than before, but I assume viewership is probably low in the days before Christmas.
ReplyDeleteNo, BBC has tons of other stuff to fill in the festive schedule :) They usually have Christmas Bake Offs and Strictly Come Dancings :) And Boxing day is their prime time for TV watching
DeleteLooking forward to Dickensian.
ReplyDeleteHave a great one, Dez.
