THE GALLOWS POLE
BBC SERIES FINALLY ARRIVES
We have definitely waited for this one for a long time, I think I first announced it years ago and then a few weeks ago BBC sent us the first images 
from their new historical series THE GALLOWS POLE but now we finally have a trailer as well, which you can watch down below, and also an airing 
date which is closer than you might expect: it will land at BBC Two May 31st based on the book by Benjamin Myers and the three episode series will also be available for streaming on their i Player.

DeleteI wonder if that’s a title he was proud of… biggest fraud in British history?
ReplyDeleteWell, poor bastards were poor, how can we really blame them even if they did commit a fraud?
