  It's not only Dickens that can give you that comforting safe "Sunday night" environment prior to the impending drudgery feeling looming around the corner on Monday.(when it was originally shown on terrestrial t.v.) Flora Thompson's idyllic portrayal of Oxfordshire life,if like me,will leave you hankering for times simpler and less complex.If you think ten hours may be too long to keep you wanting more - then think again;the time and plots progress effortlessly and enjoyably.Truly a "modern" gem.Enjoy.

The birth of a new baby brings financial hardship to the Timmins household obliging eldest daughter Laura to leave her home in the quiet hamlet of Lark Rise and embark on a new life in the busy neighbouring market town of Candleford

Ten-part TV adaptation of Flora Thompson's autobiographical trilogy of novels set in the idyllic 19th Century Oxfordshire of her childhood. When the birth of a new baby brings financial pressure to bear on the Timmins household, eldest daughter Laura (Olivia Hallinan) leaves the village of Lark Rise to begin work as an apprentice to her cousin, Dorcas Lane (Julia Sawalha), the postmistress of the neighbouring market town of Candleford. Laura and Dorcas soon become close friends and together they witness and experience the lives, loves and laughter of this now vanished corner of rural England.
