THE OAKS

UK / ITV1 Network - ITV Studios - Fox / 5x60 minute episodes / Currently filming

Writer: Stephen Greenhorn / Based on the US Pilot by David Schulner / Producer: Chrissy Skinns / Executive Producers: Kate Bartlett, Kate Lewis, Stephen Greenhorn / Director: James Kent

Currently filming in and around London for the next ten weeks is the intriguing five part supernatural tinged drama The Oaks (this is just its working title) which follows a trio of different families who all live in the same house of the course of the last fifty years (with emphasis on the 1960's, 1980's and the present day), the link being the spirit of the young girl who crosses across the years and is the daughter of the family from the 1960's whose death has mysterious connatations to it.

The series is a collaboration between ITV and Fox, the concept sounds nicely interesting and points to ITV for continuing with the non straight forward drama angle. ITV's commissioning editor said of the series "The Oaks is a really original concept that blends relationship drama with an atmospheric ghost story, Stephen's scripts are compellingly written and this is a very distinctive drama to add to our slate."
