I became acquainted with Elizabeth Gaskell a couple of years ago. She was a contemporary of Charles Dickens. I really like the characters in all her books and the way she develops them.
This movie is very heart warming and entertaining. Masterpiece Theater did a good job recreating this story.

This is not your normal period bbc drama. All the way thru I kept on expecting french or saunders to pop in. each show is an episode in its own right, but there is also an overlaying plot. Judy Dench of course is the main character, and the young town doctor is very dreamy indead..
 not as great as expected! October 19, 2008

I bought this series because one of my favorite british actors Judy Dench was in the series. We all loved the " As Time goes By" so thought I would give this one a try. I would recommend this for those who enjoy movies of that time era. I found it slow and not holding my interest, The reason being I'am not as interested in most films in the 18th century. Of course Gone with the Wind will always be a winner!
Exceptional movie, I did not want it to end! October 9, 2008

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!!

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.
