Press reaction to BBc’s Cranford
* The Independent (Tom Sutcliffe): “Beautifully played, very funny and deftly directed, it’s a world I can’t wait to get back to.”
* The Sunday Times – Culture (AA Gill): “I was hooked, gaffed, netted and filleted.”
* The Observer – Review (Kathryn Flett): “Its luscious painterly tableaux vivants make its art direction and photography possibly the most beautiful in any costume drama ever.”
* The Mail On Sunday (Jaci Stephen): “It would be impossible to list all that is great about Cranford without writing out the script verbatim.”
* Sunday Express (David Stephenson): “Cranford is the period drama of the year, and probably the series of the year.”
* Daily Telegraph (James Walton): “Perfect isn’t an adjective that we nit-picking old critics like to use very often – but, in the case of Cranford, I really can’t think of a better one.”
* The Hollywood Reporter: “An instant classic.”
