8 minutes in...

Oh my,

If you are not watching Cranford on Masterpiece Theater, you ought to be.

It is revealed that a new young doctor will be joining the local practice. The elder doctor comes to inform two of his clients. He will write the rest of them, to let them know of the change...

"The rest shall know by tea-time," he assures them.

"Or sooner, doctor, this is Cranford!"

Ah - it's all about gossip and manners...and it stars two Dames! How can you go wrong?!

Eeep! "You will attract curiosity. You must bear it nobly."

Good advice.

I have only seen bits and pieces, but it looks wonderful. After a disappointing season, this is real Masterpiece Theatre

So true! I haven't watched Masterpiece Theater in a long time. The entire 2 hours of this first episode were a delight.

what a perfectly satisfying production. Every part was so well realized, every scene so perfect.
