Exciting! The first trailer for Banished will be shown tonight on BBC1 before the new series Missing. A longer trailer will air on BBC 2 on Thursday, prior to Peaky Blinders. It seems that an online version will be available on You Tube too, in case anyone misses it!

BBC Two has shared the first glimpse of the convicts in Banished on Twitter, along with brief glimpses of the series in a new drama trailer. Sadly there is no sign of Joseph, yet.

Australian website TV Tonight has shared an interview with BBC First director of television Natalie Edwards, who mentions Banished.

Production is also wrapping on the 7 part Australian-UK co production Banished in Manchester. It is expected to air early next year. “The exteriors were shot in Sydney and then they moved to Manchester,” Edgar explained. “I’m waiting with bated breath to see the first assembly, which should be quite soon. I haven’t seen a thing. But I have been checking with the UK daily asking ‘when, when, when?’ “Personally it’s such a thrill that the very first commission we got to do was a Jimmy McGovern series.”

Joseph and Russell Tovey tweeted about finishing filming on the series this week.

Photos of Joseph and Sarah-Jane Potts, from a Masterclass at the Independent Centre for Actor Training last night, have been shared on Facebook by Chris Tofalos. Joseph is still filming Banished in Manchester, hence his current hairstyle...

Cinematographer Steve Lawes shared this photo and tweet about Banished. There has been no other mention of the completion of filming online, that I can find.
