The Village season two is coming soon. If you haven't seen the first season you should, it really is a great drama. The BBC have produced some real crackers recently and this was one of them. John Simm was amazing in it, Joe Armstrong was wonderful (yes oh yes he was!) and Rupert Evans... In fact the whole cast was wonderful. It was set during WWI and covered the story of Burt growing up in a small village. It has a bit of everything, Burts brother goes off to war, his teacher refuses to go and gets arrested, his brother comes back with shellshock and gets branded a deserter when he's too ill to go back, his family is poor and struggling with their farm and we have all sorts of scandals and the such. I found it so interesting and I'm really upset that there was such big time skips at times. Especially at the end when they went from kid Burt to basically teenage Burt. The only problem I ever had was one character, I can't remember her name but she was the character that worked in the local shop and was married to the shop keeper. She was way too opinionated and no one ever bothered to call her out on anything. The first was when she told one of the women who had lost a child in the war that she was letting morale down and should stop being sad when the women didn't know how her son had died and didn't have his body or anything, the women did kind of call her out on it but no one else really did. The second was right at the end with the war memorial when she wasn't going to allow people to have their families on the memorial together because she wanted it to have symmetry. Now personally if it was me I wouldn't allow someone any power to say that when they lost nothing to the war, in fact she profitted a lot and was a cow to a whole bunch of people. BUT you aren't MEANT to like her and she played her character brilliantly, everyone in the series played their part wonderfully. I can't wait for the second season! Other then the fact it looks like Bairstow marries Agnes which I think is mean because he was only really using her in the first season, you never got the feeling he cared much about her so I was hoping that they'd not be together at all in season 2 and if they get married I feel so sorry for her.... Well only a little bit because she's actually marrying Bairstow who is a sex god but that isn't the point  ! |

and old Burt is still narrating! I love Old Burt!
why couldn't we go one or two episodes with them being happy instead of having problems!
