Can't wait.
Great actress but too old for the part.
Why they have waited so long to air it?
Anyway, i am looking forward to it. I think it starts this month. I love Eddie Marsan.
It was announced October 2013, not filmed then.
It certainly looks the part but I fear it will not rate well.
No it was not
It was announced in 2012, and was filmed in 2013.
This is the press release from October 2013 regarding cast and when production begins. Marc Warren filmed this before he filmed Series 2 of The Musketeers which was filmed in 2014. He wouldn't be able to do both at the same time.

If you read the release it was updated, with the cast in March 2014.
So it can't have been filmed in 2013.
Not sure what was updated in the article in 2014 but filming did start in October 2013.

Thank you
People are so disbelieving.
It started filming late 2013 but filming was still taking place, in Yorkshire, in March 2014, when taking into account post production there is no way this has been ready since 2013, as you originally stated.
It was a 16 week shoot in Yorkshire.

I never said it was ready. I said it was filmed in 2013. Obviously it continued filming into 2014. But i wasn't wrong. Stop being so argumentative and difficult.
Sorry you feel I'm being difficult for pointing to the facts.
I won't do it again.
The casting looks pretty good from the trailer (particularly the wonderful Marc Warren).
I guess there had to be a lot of post production work and CGI for the magical effects.
I'm glad that they have made it into a series not a film as there would have been too much to squeeze into a single film. Films in multiple parts are a bit annoying as you have to wait so long to see the next part.
Same here. I hope they cut out some of the war descriptions - they dragged rather a lot for me
Trailers look good - although I thought his hair would be more thistledowny (Picky? Moi?
I must admit my first thought was - his hair isn't thistledowny enough!
Other than that, though, the trailers look amazing. I read the book ages ago, and loved it. I hope the TV series does it justice - can't wait!
Arabella is one of my favourite characters. Who is playing her, anyone know?
Charlotte Riley
Thank you. I don't know her - I'll look her up. She'd better be good! ;-)
I wish she would write more...
BBC2 was devised to host the more educational and informing programmes focusing on the arts, culture, highbrow drama and comedy, leaving BBC1 to concentrate more on variety and entertainment (but not totally disregarding its educational aspects), so Wolf Hall sat quite at home on BBC2.
Saying that, BBC2 has a penchant for showing oddball stuff with the likes of The League of Gentlemen, Inside No.9, etc. so yes, the gothic strangeness of JS&MrN would have sat quite comfortably on BBC2.
Thank you kindly
