The Living & The Dead

The Living and the Dead is a British supernatural horror television miniseries created by Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham. The plot revolves around Nathan Appleby (played by Colin Morgan), whose farm is believed to be at the centre of numerous supernatural occurrences.

Episode 2

As surveyors blast the countryside for a new railway line locals are suspicious of the land being disturbed and a young boy, Charlie Thatcher, tells Nathan that he is hearing strange voices - including that of Nathan's dead son Gabriel. Aged Ebenezer Alsop arrives to tell Nathan of a mining tragedy half a century earlier in which child workers were among the casualties. This provides Nathan with a solution but not necessarily a happy outcome to his latest case history.
