The creators of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes, Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham, are making a 'scary' new period thriller series for the BBC, The Living And The Dead.

The six-part series of hour-long episodes is set in Victorian era Somerset, a land and a community on the edge of monumental change, on the great hinge between ancient, traditional ways and an industrial, scientific future.

The BBC says it's 'a land of ghosts and myths, poltergeists and demons - if there was ever a time for those ghosts to rise out of the ground, this would be that time. At the heart of this small community is Nathan Appleby, a reluctant gentleman farmer who is obsessed with proving the existence of the afterlife...'

Writer-creators Ashley Pharoah (left) and Matthew Graham, said: "We are as excited about this show as anything since Life On Mars and Ashes To Ashes – we want it to be moving, tender, sensual… and very, very scary."
