Summary: Another classic for Dame Judi
Comment: Judi Dench is my alltime favorite actress. Every time I see her in a movie I say this is the best one yet. Now I say it again. The cast consists of 25 major british actors. The script is first class and the sets are as authentic as you can get. Whoever said that Judi can do more with facial expressions than anyother actor can do with a page of dialog should view this series and see how right he was. This is classic BBC television at its very best. If you buy this set, make sure that you watch the extras at the end.

Summary: A Wonderful Story
Comment: I don't know enough about filmmaking to give a
comprehensive review, so all I can say is that
I'll watch Cranford over and over. I love it!
I was invested in the characters from the
beginning and was sorry when it ended.
Will the story of Cranford continue?

Summary: Wonderful Character Acting
Comment: Michael Gambon, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins, Francesca Annis, and many others are a joy to watch and lose oneself in the storyline. The scenery and costumes are perfect. There are multiple love stories going on, and I appreciate Elizabeth Gaskell as a writer.

Summary: Cranford
Comment: What a marvelous mini series featuring so many top Brit performers, and introducing some younger stars of the very near future. Judi Dench is always a force of nature. In "Cranford" her comic ability combines with a vulnerability she seldom uses.
Technically this DVD set manages to capture marvelous picture and sound.
I consider this set a great value. I know I will enjoy watching it many more times over the years, especially as its younger performers become very famous.

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: TELEVISION/BBC UPC: 883929012404 Manufacturer No: 1000037442
