Cranford Captivates

We had planned to watch the Cranford episodes as they unfolded on PBS, but because we had a houseguest, I taped them. When we finished viewing the series, my husband had found them so interesting and engaging that he asked to view them a second time. Consequently, I ordered the DVD and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the "Making of Cranford".

I first learned of Elizabeth Gaskell while reading Phyllis McGinley's Sixpence in Her Shoe, when I was newly married. Years later while visiting a London bookstore, I found several of the Gaskell novels and added them to my library. I couldn't resist rereading Cranford the week after seeing the final episode.

I liked the blending of three of Gaskell's novels into this telling of the story. My Lady Ludlow and Mr. Harrison's Confessions give the village a larger context and paint a more complete picture of England at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. However, nothing of the charm of the perfect English village is lost in this delightful retelling of the story. Each actor seems to catch his character's virtues and foibles perfectly.

Getting to Know Cranston

Excellant viewing. I watched all the episodes in one evening. I had to see them all and was sad when it ended. I am gettting ready to watch them again before summer is over!It's a classic must see if you like Jane Austen too. I loved all the characters, they were well developed. You felt lilke you really knew them. It's a good clean, wholesome movie. Very rare.

As Cranford Turns

I saw this mini series on PBS and I was hooked immediately. The cast has many British actors seen in various Jane Austin movies and they are all wonderful. Great production!

wonderful!

We absolutely loved this series. It was very clever and entertaining. It was well cast and acted and my husband even loved it.

Cranford was a refreshing change.

Sometimes I just like to loose myself in a miniseries. Cranford had the usual pursuit of love and romance, but had the added bonus of strong female friendships. I planned to watch an installment each day, but I got hooked and watched all the installments in one day.
