Zavvi - The Home of Pop Culture

Yorkshire, 1874. Penniless following the death of her husband, Annie Quaintain and her two children are turfed out of their village home and forced to start a new life in Jericho, a remote shanty town in the expansive and rugged Yorkshire dales. Jericho is home to a community of navvies and pioneers, prostitutes and vagabonds who will live and die in the shadow of the viaduct they've been brought together to build. Rough and rustic, yet with a wild west, carnival-like atmosphere, it's a place where people with secrets can hide, and where love can flourish against all odds. Set against a visually striking frontier landscape, this epic, eight-part drama series follows the creation of a community from nothing and the human stories and heroic struggles of survival that emerge.
