Playground, which makes Channel 5’s All Creatures Great and Small, has announced the cast of The Hardacres, a sweeping rags-to-riches TV drama saga that follows the fortunes of the working-class Hardacre family as they move from a grimy fish dock to a vast country estate in 1890s Yorkshire.
The six 60-minute episodes, which are sadly not being filmed in Yorkshire but instead in Dublin and Wicklow, Ireland, are based on CL Skelton’s best-selling series of novels The Hardacre Saga.

00:08Have we got to keep a roof over our heads?
00:10We'll find us work.
00:12What if we went into something for ourselves?

01:04Doesn't change the fact that underneath it all, she's a common fish worth.
01:07All my life, I've been treated like dirt.
01:10I never want anybody to be able to do the same to her children.
01:16Who on earth do you think you are?
01:18We're the Hardacres. Are you?
01:21You can call me Mum.
