THEY SAY: Period drama set in the first penal camp established by the British in Australia in 1788, following the relationships of fictionalised early settlers, criminals and soldiers.
WE SAY: Penned by the scribe behind Brookside, Cracker and The Accused, Banished has some trademark Jimmy McGovern social realism about it but also an exotic location, with the occasional sentimental sweeps of a costume drama.
Comments
Banished - I hope not
Having read the reviews by UK press I hope the Bbc do not take thier views into consideration if plans are afoot to continue with a series 2. Not an avid Tv viewer - this period drama has kept me rivetted. One of the best series currently on TV. A talented cast, great story and compulsive viewing. I do hope there will a sequel.
