I wish I could give this a 20 instead of just 10. This is the best mini series I've seen in a VERY long time. Cranford is a terrific "bonnet and bustle" period piece. You'd be hard pressed to find a better cast. The actors are perfect for the parts they play and do a superb job.(How could you go wrong with Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench and Imelda Staunton?)The scripts are very cleverly written to reflect the idiosyncrasies of the characters. Cranford has everything: Comedy, farce, drama, pathos and a charming bunch of highly eccentric characters. You'll love these people. You'll laugh with them. You'll cheer them on. You'll hope there's a sequel because you can't bear to part with them. Buy this, it's GREAT!
