The BBC has shared a new teaser trailer for Banished, though unfortunately there is no sign of Joseph in it. There is also a new website for the show - keep an eye out for updates.

The Radio Times has shared photos of some of the main cast, sadly not including Joseph, and also some begind the scenes photos, which do include Joseph! The BBC media pack has more information about creating 1788 Australia for the small screen.

The task of bringing Australia, 1788, to life fell to directors Daniel Percival and Jeffrey Walker and their crews. The first decision that was made was that the production would be split - all of the exteriors would be shot on location, in Sydney, Australia, and thereafter the production would return to Manchester to film the interiors.

A lovely review for Joseph's recent radio 4 play 'How Did I Get Here' has been posted by The Stage. The play is available to listen again on BBC iPlayer.

Jonathan Myerson’s play plunges into the disturbing, schizophrenic heart of dementia, the presence almost of conjoined twins, the person that was and the person that is, by portraying them both as equally present.

Grandad (Benjamin Whitrow) is dodderish and quivery, his speech reduced by dementia to a haphazard semantic patchwork. He co-exists with Dad, a vigorous 38-year-old version of the same man, played by Joseph Millson, known for his many classic theatre roles and an increasing presence in radio drama. His feisty, sometimes tetchy persona is informed by vulnerable undercurrents, glimpses of himself in transition into Grandad’s reduced state.

The BBC has shared a media pack for Banished, which begins on March 5th, and it contains the first promo shot of Joseph Millson as Major Ross, along with an interview with him.

The BBC Press Office has shared the broadcast date for Banished - which begins on Thursday 5th March, at a time to be confirmed. 

New South Wales, 1788. Dawn is breaking over a ramshackle camp where the British convicts transported on the First Fleet are waking up to another sweltering hot day alongside their Royal Navy marine guards and their masters. In this fledgling penal colony anything can happen - and death stalks everybody.
