Jericho
Yesterday wilderness. Tomorrow civilisation.
Created by Steve Thompson
On ITV1
A period drama about a transient Victorian working community bound together by a monumental engineering project, suffused with elegiac awareness of its own impermanence.
In the Yorkshire Dales in the 1870s, the shantytown of Jericho is the home of a community that will live, thrive and die in the shadow of the viaduct they've been brought together to build.
