A new still from The Village has been released by the BBC. It is from the same scene as the first image so once again shows Andrew Gower as Gilbert Hankin, Tom Varey as Bert Middleton and Matt Stokoe as Gerrard Eyre.
The air date is still to be confirmed.
BBC Media Centre have until this morning had The Village listed in week 31 (Sat 2 – Friday 8 August) with rumours abound that the first episode would air on BBC One on Sunday 3 August at 9pm, in keeping with the series one schedule.
However, it has just been announced that the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony will be aired from 9pm that day, and all references to The Village in week 31 have been removed from the website.
We will of course update as soon as we hear more.
