I loved Cranford, too. Here we've moved on past it to the second series of Lark Rise to Candleford, but I miss Cranford. I hear tell next year there should be a Christmas special. Naturally, unless they've nicked things off Mr Dickens, it won't have Philip Glenister in it.

I have to say, you might not want to give up on Lost in Austen so soon. Cranford it's not, sadly, but if you're prepared to give it a go, it's definitely the most entertaining thing ITV has come up with a long while. I hear tell that there will be a film version, possibly.

And it holds together even though for a while it looks as though it might not. Plus Hugh Bonneville makes a great Mr Bennet. And great Mr Bennets are very important. Of course, if you don't like it, you can then complain at me after!!
