I think it's going to take a while to get into the characters but it was a good start. |

It was a little dour, i thought, but interesting to see a picture of rural life that isn't romanticised and idyllic. |

Had me crying buckets at the end of first episode, so must have touched a nerve, all those young men going off to war :-( |

Yes Gin that's it, not quite Cranford to Larkrise but more gritty & realistic |

Reminded me of my primary school....not at that time....but in the 40's and I got the strap for being left handed...so that went on for many years...we felt we were not quite as good as other children. |

I read about the locals Brenda - too many fake tans & over-plucked eyebrows too ;-) |

I also noticed that all the children had boots - the poor did not in those days. |

Hi Lolly....I thought it a bit odd that Middleton confessed to the young Methodist girl,and I thought I'd missed a part of the dialogue...very strange! |

Hi Mau~~~I kept get the same feeling that I've missed an episode or something - Has it ever been explained who this mystery girl actually is? |
