Cranford
Sundays at 8pm
Judi Dench, Philip Glenister, Francesca Annis and Michael Gambon star in Elizabeth Gaskell's drama, set in 1842. Cranford is a place governed by etiquette, custom and above all, ladies. A place for everything, and everything in its place. But Cranford is also a rural community on the cusp of great changes. The railroad is coming. Pushing its way relentlessly towards the town from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order. Can Cranford’s inhabitants cope with the disintegration of the world as they know it?
