The Village is a BBC television series written by Peter Moffat. Set in a Derbyshire village in the early 20th century, it covers events from the summer of 1914 to 1924. The first series, which Moffat hoped would become a 42-hour television drama following a large family across the 20th century, aired in spring 2013 and covered the years between 1914 and 1920. A second series aired in autumn 2014 and carried the story into the 1920s. The programme did not return after the second series.
