What happens

The Village is a BBC television series written by Peter Moffat. The drama is set in a Derbyshire village in the early 20th century, covering events from the summer of 1914 until 1924. The first series of what Moffat hoped would become a 42-hour televised drama following an extended family through the 20th century, was broadcast in spring 2013 and covered the years 1914 to 1920. A second series was broadcast in autumn 2014, and continued the story into the 1920s. The programme did not return after the second series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
