Hope Springs: new drama coming to BBC HD
The first press release for Hope Springs, a new eight-part drama series for the BBC, came out at the end of April, but I've only just found out that this has been filmed in high definition and will air on the BBC HD channel from the first week of June.
Following the fortunes of Ellie, Hannah, Shoo and Josie, Hope Springs is a funny new family drama for the BBC about four fabulous ex-cons trying to go straight, starring acclaimed international actress Alex Kingston alongside Sian Reeves, Christine Bottomley and Vinette Robinson.
Other well-known stars include Annette Crosbie, Ronni Ancona, Paul Higgins and Alec Newman.
When the women's long-held plan to start a new life in Barbados - courtesy of £3 million stolen from Ellie's vengeful gangster husband - goes awry, they find themselves in hiding in a remote Scottish village called Hope Springs.
All they have to do is keep their heads down, assume new identities and plan an escape to their Barbados idyll, but little do they know Hope Springs is going to change their lives forever.
Hope Springs was filmed in Scotland on location in Wanlockhead in Dumfries and Galloway with interior scenes shot at BBC Scotland's newly-developed drama studios in Dumbarton.
