Brilliant she says. Anybody else watching it? What about you Paul, any photographs? |

I love Flora Thompson, and I have Lark Rise To Candleford, and Still Glides the Stream. I can't wait to see how they adapt the book to the screen. Thank Anna for me. |

I thought the first episodes were a bit too sweet and too heavy on the nostalgia, but it gets better and better as time goes on. I think you can watch episodes on the BBCi Player:
