I'm trying to remember the name of a TV series, here's what I can remember about it.

UK based, possibly Scotland
Made in the last 10-15 years
Only one series
One word title
The name of it is possibly the name of the village where it's set

It's about some occult ritual type goings on in a rural ish village, a bit Wicker Man and I think it had some well known TV actors in

Help please!

Was it this one? Requiem www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05td61g

HippyChickMama · 01/06/2020 14:37

No, it wasn't that one. I've got a feeling it's got the word wood in the title, it's not Torchwood though, or willow or something tree like

I did a search on telly addicts and that came up, but my memory of Requiem wouldn't really be covered by your description.

There was a recent one set in Scotland where a writer(?) went back to Scotland and by accidents found an old abandoned house and it then triggered memories of ... ?

But that was quite recent. With the actor who plays the detective in Shetland.

Thank you @stumbledin but it's older than that. It may not be set in Scotland but it's definitely UK and I'm sure it had ad breaks so must have been itv or c4 I think

Was it Primeval?

No more suggestions after that.

Hope someone else does know!

HippyChickMama · 01/06/2020 14:56

No, not Primeval. It's very Wicker Man-esque. Thanks for trying though

Apostle?

iklboo · 01/06/2020 15:03

Ah, sorry. That was a film.

Glue?

Its just a long shot and I haven't seen it myself. The desc on Wikipedia goes...
Glue is a British television drama shown on E4. It was created and written by Jack Thorne. It began broadcasting from 15 September to 3 November 2014 and comprises eight episodes. The plot revolves around the friends of a 14-year-old boy, Cal Bray, who is found dead. The investigation to find the killer reveals their dark and dirty secrets, hidden behind the picture-perfect English countryside.

I know the programme you mean. I'm trying to remember who was in. I think you are right about 'wood' in the title.

easedale · 01/06/2020 15:13

The programme I am thinking of is ' Marchlands'.

chergar · 01/06/2020 15:16

Was just about to say Marchlands, Scottish actor Dennis Lawson is in it.

Similar one was Lightfields.

Mayday?

HippyChickMama · 01/06/2020 15:20

None of these, sorry. Mayday looks the closest but it's not that

Marchlands/Crooked House/The Living and the Dead

but none have wood in it (although all are good!)

HippyChickMama · 01/06/2020 15:24

Thank you all, I've found it! It was Wake Wood, not a series and Ireland not Scotland! Thanks for all your help though
