The Witches of Pendle

on BBC Two England

Written by Barry Collins
with John Stratton, James Laurenson, Michael Pennington and Cathryn Harrison

In the year 1612, nine women, two men and a child were 'taken for witches' in the Forest of Pendle in the Countie of Lancaster. After months of confinement together in a dungeon of Lancaster Castle, ten were brought to trial, convicted and hanged. This stark story opens with a 16-year-old girl Alizon, a crow - and a pedlar on his way to Colne Fair.
