Here's another BBC period drama recommendation. An involving plot, engaging characters (Imelda Staunton is particularly hysterical as a busybody neighbor and Judi Dench is, well Judi Dench!), pretty clothes--what's not to like? I haven't read this novel (or novels, actually--they combined Cranford and some other pieces by author Elizabeth Gaskell) either, though I have read her Wives and Daughters. Lots of fun and not so heavy and serious as some Masterpiece Theatre offerings.
