‘Land Girls’ – A Second Series!

June 25th, 2010 • By Siobhan • Productions

I have a very exciting update for you today; the BBC has just announced that there will be a second series of Land Girls, in which Jo will return to play the popular role of Bea:

The daytime drama, set in the 1940s, focuses on a group of women working for the Women’s Land Army during the Second World War.

Jo Woodcock will return to the show as Bea, while Becci Gemmell will appear again as Joyce. Sophie Ward, Mark Benton, Danny Webb, Susan Cookson, Mykola Allen and Liam Boyle will also reprise their roles in the new series.

Meanwhile, the BBC revealed that a number of new characters will feature in the show.

London’s Burning star Clive Wood will join the cast as American businessman Jack Gillespie, while Liam Garrigan will appear as Rev Henry Jameson. Raquel Cassidy, who has previously featured in Lead Balloon and Teachers, will play Lady Hoxley’s sister Diana Granville.

Controller of BBC Daytime Liam Keelan said: “It’s wonderful to have so many of our original cast returning for the second series of our award-winning drama, as well as some exciting new names, too. The first series proved to be hugely popular, pulling in audiences of more than two million with its warm, uplifting but also compelling story.

The series is currently filming in the West Midlands, and the air date is not yet known – but I will be sure to keep you updated.
