A new comedy drama featuring MPs shipped up to a Yorkshire stately home to start a new Parliament is set for British screens by the next election, its creator has said.
In an interview with The Yorkshire Post, Tim Reynard, the creator of “Uprooted” by DeCantillon Films, said that the series will be set in North Yorkshire after a tragic incident in Parliament meaning that the House of Commons and Lords have to be moved to the North in 90 days. “It's a predominantly drama, with elements of comedy,” he said.
“The idea is that it's very close to York, and so the majority of the series focuses around these two characters, the one from Parliament and the one from a council, and their progressof setting up a Parliament in the space of 90 days,” said Mr Reynard.
