The Gallows Pole
本剧改编自Benjamin Myers的同名小说，对David Hartley和克拉格谷铸币者的兴衰历程进行了戏剧加工。故事以18世纪约克郡即将到来的工业革命为背景，讲述了David Hartley (Michael Socha饰)召集一帮织布工和土地工人开始一项革命性的犯罪活 动，将颠覆英国经济，成为英国历史上最大的诈骗案。
West Yorkshire, early 1760s. David Hartley is returning to his family’s remote moor-top dwelling after seven years away in Birmingham. Gravely wounded and dragging a mysterious bag of tools, he receives help from six mythical stag-men, who let him know that his work on earth isn’t done yet.
After finding his community destitute, David introduces his kin to ‘clipping’ – the illegal forging of coins and David’s scheme to bring back dignity and security to his people.
David’s gang partake in their first mission, focused on the rent-seeking, exploitative Clothier. David also aims to make amends with Grace, the 'jilted' love of his life.
