The Village

The Village is a BBC television drama crafted by Peter Moffat, set against the backdrop of a Derbyshire village during the early 20th century. The series, which first aired in 2013, explores the years 1914 to 1920 and aims to unfold over 42 hours of compelling storytelling. Following its initial success, a continuation depicting the 1920s has been scheduled for 2014 with possible future installments delving into the Second World War and post-war Austerity Britain. The narrative is centered on Bert Middleton’s life experiences, portrayed as a child by Bill Jones, as a teenager by Alfie Stewart, and as an elderly man by David Ryall. John Simm and Maxine Peake star as his parents, with Peake being a favorite newcomer in Moffat’s productions like Criminal Justice and Silk. Moffat aspires to create a British parallel to Edgar Reitz’s Heimat, capturing a working-class perspective distinct from series akin to Downton Abbey.
