If you're a fan of All Creatures Great and Small , you'll want to continue reading as the team behind it are bringing us a brand new Channel 5 series that's set to be another binge-watchable period drama. The Hardacres is a new six-part drama which will be coming our way this October and lucky for you, RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first look at the trailer.
In the trailer (above), we see how the series will unfold from following the hard-working family as herring merchants on the fishing docks to owning a vast country estate in 1890s Yorkshire. Talk about a come up story, right? Well, in the trailer, we get a sense of how things come about for the family as we see them use the only thing they know – herrings – to make money. They go from struggling to pay their rent and living in a cramped house altogether to owning a herring shop of their own and making some serious money.
But soon, with their newfound riches, they're catapulted into a high society that they have no experience of. From not knowing exactly what to do with their days, getting used to the fashions and hair of the time and having to schmooze the snobby locals, The Hardacres certainly looks like it's full of lots of drama. The new drama comes from Playground, the award-winning production company behind All Creatures Great and Small and, like the other hit Channel 5 series, is also based on a series of novels.
The Hardacres is based on CL Skelton’s best-selling series of novels The Hardacre Family Saga Bo.
