I have just discovered Cranford on BT demand and am completely hooked. I was dismayed to realised I had missed the Christmas special and the start of the new series. Does anyone know where I can catch up? Iplayer does not seem to help.

Thanks!

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai’i!

My paternal ancestors came from Vale of Glamorgan– via Cheshire. I loved this series and will hate to see it go!!

Many mahalo for the charming visit to the town of Cranford.

Part 2 just ended in the U.S. What a delightful program! The chief novel, the two novellas, and the short stories have been wonderfully interwoven into a story showing the delight, the pain, anxiety, challenges and disasters of the onset of the industrial age and the resulting social change. The acting, the sets, the costumes were unbelievably good; playing the series theme as a waltz at the Christmas ball was an inspired ending to a terrific series. We got the Gaskell collection in DVDs, and we will get the Return as well.

I have watched the first series of Cranford twice and I am looking forward to the Return to Cranford.
Would anyone happen to know anything about the grand estate that the Lady Ludlow scenes were shot?

Hi Barbara,

You should be able to get a code to unlock your DVD player from regions…or if you have a computer or a laptop you should be able to watch it on those without a problem.

I totally agree with J Carter about the garbage TV force fed to us all, that’s why I was so disappointed with Cranford, I was hoping for something better from it. Ho well, me and the unwashed masses will just have to keep looking in the press until then I think i will switch my TV off.

Never never boring, absolutely wonderful, I was crying one minute and then laughing out loud the next, sheer joy to watch with fabulous actors, Imelda Staunton is in a league of her own in this adaptation.
It’s so nice to appreciate and to be able to watch great TV, instead of the usual garbage that seems to appeal to the “great unwashed”.
