As well as the recent Australia launch, BBCWW will be launching BBC First in Europe, and according to C21 Media, Banished is included in the programme schedule. The Netherlands will be the first country to receive BBC First in May.

The fully localised channel will be available via terrestrial provider KPN, with further platforms to follow throughout the Benelux region. Programming will be subtitled in Dutch, with shows including Wolf Hall, season two of The Musketeers, Silent Witness and Last Tango in Halifax. Other shows on the launch schedule include Burton & Taylor, season four of Call the Midwife, and Banished.

Banished was the final featured TV show on BBC One's Points of View this afternoon, and they included several brilliant recorded videos from the passionate fans of the show. Points of View asked the production team and BBC Two about a second series. BBC Two said no decisions were yet made, while Sita Williams from RSJ told us that Jimmy McGovern was writing more episodes, and that they were determined to bring more of Banished to our TV Screens.
