Summary: Three Great Productions
Comment: All three of these shows are so good, you'll be glad to have them on hand to watch again and again. (And in such a compact package that saves shelf space!) North and South gets my nod as the best, but the other two are fantastic as well. Each contains several performances that are marvels of acting--Michael Gambon and Francesca Annis in Wives and Daughters; practically the whole cast of Cranford; and Richard Armitage and Sinead Cusack in North and South. There is also a nice bio of Elizabeth Gaskell included, which was interesting.
A warning to Gaskell fans: The screenwriters are not always faithful to the stories of North and South and Cranford; the results, though, are so entertaining that it's hard to quibble.

Summary: Cranford-loved it!
Comment: This is a great BBC production. Classic & sweet story of a town that has remained unchanged for many, many years and then comes into the 19th century.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful television
Comment: If you are looking for a quality set of movies that are truely worthwhile to watch, you have found it in this set! All of these movies are wonderful and very well acted. I can't say enough good about them. It bothers me to see people review these disks without even watching them all, it does no justice to anyone who might like to buy this set!
Customer Rating:
Summary: WORTH TO TREASURE!
Comment: When I got this collection, I didn't know what to expect. I watched Cranford first (love it), then Wives and Daughters (love it too) and lastly North and South (superbly love it, the best period drama I've seen yet, just fell in love with Richard Armitage and Daniella Asby-Ashe) which became my most treasured movie. Cranford is comedy with very good actors, so as Wives and Daughters, while North and South is an addictive drama that will melt your heart to watch it over and over again. A great treasure to keep. BRITISH MOVIES - YOU MADE MY DAY!

Summary: Wicked Awsome movies
Comment: these 3 movies are worth buying for wayyyyy more money, i bought them all seperately, wish i had known they came in a set. These are 3 must have movies if ever you wanted nice english period pieces. I have watched them over and over and i think i'll go watch them over now. Definitely fantastic movies, best i've ever had.

Editorial Reviews:

Three BBC miniseries adapted from Mary Gaskells classic novels. 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? North & South follows Margaret Hale the daughter of a middle-class parson who uproots the family from rural southern England to start a new life in Milton - a northern mill town in the throes of the industrial revolution. Wives and Daughters is set in a richly portrayed society well-stocked with eccentric nobles and gossipy villagers. The well-ordered world of 17-year-old Molly Gibson becomes complicated when her father a respected country doctor remarries after many years of widowhood.Running Time: 828 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/BBC UPC:Â 883929012695 Manufacturer No:Â 1000037550
