6/20/2023 0 Comments The gallows pole by benjamin myersI’ve never made a period drama before, so I’m absolutely buzzing, and to be doing it with Piers at the BBC, his incredible team, and Element Pictures is nothing short of an honour.” Talking about the project, Meadows explained: “ The Gallows Pole is an incredible true story, little known outside of Yorkshire, about a group of very naughty men and women who started clipping and counterfeiting coins out in the Moors, as a way to keep themselves and their community alive. Set against the backdrop of the coming industrial revolution in 18 th-century Yorkshire, Meadows’ new directorial effort follows the rise and fall of the enigmatic David Hartley, as he assembles a gang of weavers and land-workers – known as the Cragg Vale Coiners – to embark upon a revolutionary criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history.
