Land Girls is a British television period drama series, first broadcast on BBC One on 7 September 2009. Land Girls was created by Roland Moore and commissioned by the BBC to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War. The programme was BBC Daytime's first commission of a period drama. Land Girls was filmed in and around the city of Birmingham. The first series features Summer Strallen, Christine Bottomley, Jo Woodcock and Becci Gemmell as four different girls doing their bit for Britain in the Women's Land Army during the war.

Land Girls won the "Best Daytime Programme" at the 2010 Broadcast Awards and in that same year the BBC announced that it had commissioned a second series, comprising five episodes. Woodcock and Gemmell reprised their roles as Bea and Joyce and Seline Hizli made her debut as new girl, Connie Carter. The second series began airing from 17 January 2011 and two months later BBC Daytime Controller, Liam Keelan, renewed Land Girls for a third series. It began airing from 7 November 2011.

Plot

The titular Land Girls are Nancy Morrell (Summer Strallen), Joyce Fisher (Becci Gemmell), Bea Holloway (Jo Woodcock) and Annie Barratt (Christine Bottomley), who have arrived at the Hoxley Estate to begin their new working lives at the Pasture Farm—owned by Frederick Finch (Mark Benton)—and the opulent manor occupied by Lord and Lady Hoxley (Nathaniel Parker and Sophie Ward). The women have joined the Women's Land Army for different reasons but share the same goal – to help win the war. Nancy is forced into joining the Women's Land Army when female conscription begins. Joyce wants to serve her country like her husband. Annie signs up herself and her younger sister Bea so they can escape their abusive father. As the girls adapt to their new surroundings and begin the hard work, their lives begin to change. About a year later, Bea is married to Billy (Liam Boyle) and Joyce is still working at the farm. The brash Connie Carter (Seline Hizli) arrives to do her duty, and American industrialist Jack Gillespie (Clive Wood) comes to the Hoxley Estate on business. The third series once again focuses on the lives of the land girls at the Hoxley estate. After the local military hospital is bombed, the patients and staff relocate to Hoxley Manor. Connie is engaged to Reverend Henry Jameson (Liam Garrigan; Gwilym Lee) and Iris Dawson (Lou Broadbent) arrive at the farm.

Conception and development

Land Girls was conceived by Roland Moore, who wanted to cover the subject matter of the Women's Land Army in an ensemble drama.[1] Once he had the idea, Moore set about creating the characters of Nancy, Joyce, Annie and Bea and devising story ideas from them.[1] He told a reporter from the Writers' Guild of Great Britain, "In the 1940s, class was obviously much more of an issue than it is now, so it made sense to capitalise on this factor by ensuring that the girls came from a mix of working and middle classes. During development of the series, Will Trotter (executive producer) suggested adding some upper class characters; so Lord and Lady Hoxley were added. This fully-fleshed out the class element of the series and enabled us to devise stories that threw a spotlight onto the great social leveller that was World War Two."[1]

Moore named the four main characters after his grandmother and great-aunts, which made the names authentic for the time period. He also read accounts from real life land girls to make sure his stories were believable.[1] The writer decided to set each forty-five minute episode three months apart to give the series "a unique format". He also wanted the series to be fast-paced.[1] As well as focusing on the land girls, Moore decided to "shed light on other less well-known aspects of the home front", including segregation of black and white American troops, the hunt for Nazi sympathisers and the use of prisoners of war as labourers.[1]

Will Trotter from BBC Drama Birmingham was looking for a Second World War drama to pitch to the BBC Daytime Controller, Liam Keelan.[1] Trotter liked Moore's idea and it was soon green-lit. They, along with John Yorke, producer Erika Hossington and the directors, then began working to finalise the scripts. Ann Kramer, an historian specialising in the Women's Land Army, also helped out.[1] The BBC announced the commission of Land Girls in June 2009, revealing that the series would air from 7 September 2009 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the start of the Second World War.[2] Keelan stated "I'm delighted to be able to place Land Girls at this time of the day as part of a unique week of programming. We hope to pay tribute, not only to the many lives that were lost in the Second World War, but also to the land girls who played such an important role on the home front. We hope it'll be seen by as wide an audience as possible."[2]

In March 2010, it was announced that a second series of Land Girls had been commissioned and that filming would begin later in the year.[3] The BBC said the second series would see a return to the rural Forties and continue to examine the women who helped the war effort.[3] Keelan said "The first series of Land Girls was something completely new for BBC One Daytime. It proved to be such a success with our viewers that I'm delighted to be able to announce the commission of a second series".[3] Keelan added that he hoped the second series would continue to be a tribute to the real land girls.[3] Trotter and Yorke returned as executive producers and Trotter said that the second series would see some old faces returning and some new ones arriving.[3]

Two months after the second series had concluded, Keelan renewed Land Girls for a third series.[4] Of the third series, Keelan said "It builds on the success of the previous two series which our viewers have loved for the dramatic way they have told the story of land girls – and their families and friends – in the Second World War."[5] Trotter added that it was "brilliant" to continue the land girls' story and that the new series would give the team an opportunity to further explore "how those left at home lived their lives in the shadow of the Second World War."[5]

Production

Casting

Summer Strallen was cast in the role of rich girl Nancy Morrell.[6] Strallen read diaries and books on the land girls while she was preparing for her role.[6] Of her character, Strallen said "Basically at the beginning, Nancy is a pain in the backside, she's one of those girls who has finished school and is looking to find a husband. [..] You hate to love her but it's not all dances and working on the farm. The actual reality of war sets in when someone in authority is challenging her patriotism."[6] Strallen added that she enjoyed wearing the 1940s costumes and the hairstyles and that she had enjoyed filming the series.[6] Becci Gemmell was cast as the patriotic Joyce Fisher, a woman whose parents were killed in an air raid and whose husband has been posted overseas.[7] Like Strallen, Gemmell read diaries of the land girls during her research for the role. She also spoke to a former land girl who gave her some inside knowledge.[7] The character of Joyce is Gemmell's first television role and she said that she "really loved" filming the series and hoped there would be a second run.[7]

Former Hope Springs actress, Christine Bottomley, was cast as the sensible and cautious Annie.[8] Bottomley also researched the land girls after securing the role of Annie. Of filming the series, she said "I loved the experience of working in a completely different era and the completely different look."[8] Jo Woodcock was cast as Annie's younger sister, Bea.[9] Nathaniel Parker and Sophie Ward were cast as Lord Lawrence Hoxley and Lady Ellen Hoxley respectively. Parker and Ward had previously worked together on A Village Affair.[10] Mark Benton was cast as Farmer Finch, Danny Webb as Dennis Tucker and Susan Cookson as Esther Reeves.[11] Fourteen-year-old Mykola Allen joined the cast as Esther' son, Martin.[12]

The cast for series two was announced in June 2010.[13] Woodcock and Gemmell returned to their roles of Bea and Joyce.[13] Woodcock said she was "delighted" to return as she really likes her character.[14] Six other cast members from the first series also reprised their roles, including Sophie Ward, Mark Benton, Danny Webb, Susan Cookson, Mykola Allen and Liam Boyle.[13] It was also revealed that four new characters were to be introduced. Seline Hizli was cast as new girl, Connie Carter, who the Herts Advertiser said would "ruffle a few feathers". Land Girls is Hizli's first television role.[15] Raquel Cassidy was cast in the role of Lady Hoxley's sister, Diana Granville.[13] Clive Wood and Liam Garrigan joined as American businessman Jack Gillespie and Reverend Henry Jameson respectively.[13] Keelan said that it was "wonderful" to have many of the original cast returning.[13]

The BBC announced on 16 June 2011 that Gemmell and Hizli had reprised their roles as Joyce and Connie for the third series, along with Sophie Ward, Mark Benton, Susan Cookson, Mykola Allen, Nicholas Shaw, David Schofield and Carolyn Pickles.[5] Lou Broadbent joined the cast as new girl Iris Dawson and Gwilym Lee took over the role of Henry Jameson.[5] Other new cast members included Dominic Mafham as Dr Richard Channing, Joe Armstrong as Danny Sparks, Paul Ritter as Dennis Tucker's brother Frank and Samuel Edward-Cook as Walter.[5]

Filming

Arbury Hall in Nuneaton was transformed into the fictional Hoxley Manor.

Filming on the first series began in July 2009 in Birmingham and Land Girls became the first period drama to film there since 1994's Martin Chuzzlewit.[16] Crew from the BBC's daytime drama, Doctors, worked on the shoot, which lasted for seven weeks.[16] Erika Hossington, the series' producer, said "Drama production has fantastic roots in Birmingham, but it's all happening again now with shows like Doctors, Survivors, Hustle and now Land Girls."[16]

A real farm near Henley-in-Arden in Warwickshire doubled for the Pasture farm, where the girls live and work. Hoxley Manor was created using Arbury Hall in Nuneaton.[16] The Black Country Living Museum, Stoneleigh Abbey, the Fleece Inn and Toddington railway station were also used for location shooting.[16] Moore revealed that the series' location manager Michael Grisewood and series producer Sam Hill managed to secure the locations and that they needed very little set dressing.[1] Things like satellite dishes, double glazing and pylons needed to be disguised by the production staff and trees with leaves had to be hidden during filming of winter scenes.[17]

Hossington said that the biggest challenge of the shoot was finding a farmer who was prepared to plough a field out of season for use during an episode set in the winter months.[17] She said "It went right to the wire and we only found one a couple of days before filming. Farms are governed by so many rules and subsidies and have to be very careful about what land they use. We're shooting the girls picking swedes and beets, trying to look as cold as possible despite the sweltering heat."[17] As Moore wanted each episode to be set three months apart, the design team were "stretched" with having to get the field ploughed and getting crops to grow at the wrong time of year.[1] Trotter said that he had wanted to film another drama in Birmingham for a while and that he wanted to give the Doctors crew an opportunity to film something big.[17] He explained that the ambition of Land Girls is "far greater than the budget would suggest," citing the use of the real Messerschmitt plane as an example.[17]

Trotter said that he had looked at using CGI for the plane, but that it did not look good, so the team found a real plane and someone willing to fly it. He added that using the real plane actually worked out cheaper than using CGI.[17] All of the costumes were hired from London and they had to be authentic for the time period.[17]

The second series was also filmed on location in the West Midlands.[13] For the opening of the first episode, Gemmell's character, Joyce, is taken for a flight in a Tiger Moth plane.[18] Gemmell said that she did not get to fly in the plane and instead she was taxied around a field.[18] As the pilot was getting ready to fly everyone on the set had to be quiet, so he could talk to people via the radio. Gemmell said "It's quite something standing with 30 people spread out across a field in total silence for a good 10 minutes, then hearing in the distance the rumble of a plane engine getting louder and louder."[18] She also praised the make-up department for getting her wig to stay on during filming. Gemmell added that the second series was tough to film especially for the team behind the scenes.[18]

Broadcasting

The first series consisted of five episodes lasting 45 minutes, which were broadcast across five days on BBC One beginning from 7 September 2009.[19][20][21] The series was also available on BBC HD and the BBC iPlayer.[22] Land Girls was given an early evening time slot of 5.15pm and it was later repeated on Sunday evenings.[20][22] Land Girls made its debut in Canada on 6 June 2010 on the Sundance Channel.[23]

The second series of Land Girls began airing on 17 January 2011.[14] The new series was once again made up of five 45 minute episodes and simulcast in HD on the BBC HD channel.[24] On 19 January 2011, it was announced that Land Girls had been sold to Sundance Channel Global, which covers France, Benelux, Asia and Eastern Europe.[25] The series will also be shown by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the Danish broadcasting corporation, DR, the Globosat television service in Brazil and the Finnish broadcasting company, YLE.[25]

The third series of Land Girls began airing on BBC One from 7 November 2011.[26] From 18 January 2012, series one of Land Girls was broadcast on Yesterday.[27]
