We’re incredibly proud to finally release the trailer for Beck’s End, our upcoming limited series.

When floodwaters swallow an idyllic Lake District village, a stranded journalist finds herself trapped in a rising tide of fear. Cut off from the outside world, she begins to uncover horrors both human and biblical, lurking beneath the surface.

Beck’s End is a folk horror audio drama about isolation, belief, radicalisation and whether redemption is possible.

Fuck it, I think, let's do this thing. Knee goes down. Ring comes out. I ask her to marry me. She says, "Aaahhhh!" She says, "Yes."

I scramble up and put it on her finger and we go "Aaahhhh!" some more, and then! She's reaching for her bag!

Me, delighted: "Are you fucking serious!"

Her, pulling out a ring box: "Yes."

Inside is the most beautiful ring! I say yes preemptively and jam it on my finger. We scream a little longer and then she says, "Look at what's written inside."
