Summary: Exceptional movie, I did not want it to end!
Comment: If you like Jane Austin movies, BBC period movies...then you will love this movie. There are many story lines going on at the same time in the town of Cranford. There are many characters that you grow to love, and some that you love instantly. It is a 5 part series, that you wish would not end. It is clean, which I appreciate.
Spoiler alert: One of the story lines is a new Doctor coming to town to help the already established town Doctor. He is new, has new medical techniques and ideas. So there are many medical scenes. Where the movie is clean I would not recommend it for children under 10. There is a broken arm where you see the bone protruding, an amputation where you don't actually see it but you see the big saw and you hear it. There are many sad deaths in the movie...sad because you have come to love them and want their story line to keep going.
There are many funny parts that had me rolling and I have to say some I did not catch until the second time I watched it. There are many happy parts to the movie and it does have a great happy ending!! It makes you yearn for a small town setting, and for life long friendships that are there through good times and bad times.
I loved this movie and hope they keep making more like it!!

Summary: Cranford Mini Series
Comment: I just love these BBC dramas. I can escape to a world that's quiet, refined and proper. And make it back in time to use all the luxuries of the modern age.
This is a great cast of actors and actresses. Very well made.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Cranford!
Comment: I admit I am a sucker for British period dramas anyway, but Cranford is especially charming. The story is multi-faceted and never weakens at any point. Of course, Judi Dench leads the lovely cast with her inimitable style.

Summary: Better than Jane Austen?
Comment: This is an exceptional series, one that any Jane Austen fan should see. We liked it so much, it was too hard to let it end, so we bought the original book.

The BBC drama series adapted from Mary Gaskells classic novels of small town gossip secrets and romance. 1842. Cranford a market town in the North West of England is a place governed by etiquette custom and above all an intricate network of ladies. It seems that life has always been conducted according to their social rules but Cranford is on the cusp of change? For spinsters Deborah Jenkyns the arbiter of correctness in Cranford and Matty her demurring sister the town is a hub of intrigue - a handsome new doctor Frank Harrison from London has arrived; a retired Captain and his daughters have moved in to a house opposite and the preparations for Lady Ludlows garden party are underway. Everyone - from charming rogue Dr Marshland to mean Mrs Jamieson and her lap dog talks and is talked about behind closed doors. The town also has its secrets which it slowly reveals: Mattys encounter with an old flame at the garden party; Lady Ludlows gardener Mr Carter teaching a gypsy lad to read and write; the wild expectations of the May Day celebrations and - news that shakes the town when it is revealed - a railway line from Manchester is coming to Cranford.Running Time: 295 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/BBC UPC:Â 883929012404 Manufacturer No:Â 1000037442
