Moonfleet begins on Saturday 28th December on Sky 1
On Saturday 28th December, Ray Winstone leads a gang of smugglers in Sky 1’s brand new 2 part family drama, Moonfleet, produced by Company Pictures.
Written by Ashley Pharoah (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes), this two-part adaptation of the much-loved John Meade Falkner novel is set in the small Dorset village of Moonfleet. In the story, young John Trenchard (Aneurin Barnard – The Truth About Emanuel, The White Queen) is desperate to join the local band of smugglers led by Elzevir Block (Winstone – The Departed, Hugo, Snow White And The Huntsman). Together they embark on an adventure full of action, friendship, and humour, and hunt for a fabled lost diamond. Their journey takes them from 18th Century Dorset, to the jewellery quarter of The Hague, and on to a gripping, final sea voyage.
Part one of the drama will air on Sky 1 on Saturday 28th December with the concluding part airing on Sunday 29th December.
