She is an amazing writer , I can say she is amazing as my other favorite Jane Austen.It’s a pit we can watch and buy this movies just in England or America, I will love to have the opportunity to purchase all BBC movies, but here in latin America, maybe some day.

It concerns the rise from poverty of Jabez Clegg, a foundling who becomes (a little like Thornton in N & S) a Master.

I totally need a VCR or TiVO, or whatever can record. You’ve got me all excited now. If you’re saying a cast is great, I believe you.

WAIT. I read that the Beeb has commissioned a two part Christmas “Cranford” to air next year (I think…). So it’ll be what, another 2 years before that comes over here? *sigh* I wish they could air these things simultaneously worldwide! LOL!

How long is it since it was in the filming stage?

I love Mrs. Gaskell’s North & South, and Wives & Daughters, and I agree, the casting for Cranford looks to be of the highest quality.

More Sunday evening fun!
