Advantages: Beautiful, heartwarming

Disadvantages: none!

Lark rise to candleford was always a great treat on a Sunday afternoon. This BBC adaptation of Flora Thompson's semi-autobiographical books set in Lark Rise and Candleford in 1894. The series looks at life in Lark Rise(a small hamlet) and neighbouring Candleford (a larger town).
The stories are seen through the eyes of Laura Timmins, a Lark Rise girl, who has gone to Candleford to work in the post office under the postmistress Miss Dorcas Lane. The stories follow their lives and the lives of there friends and neighbours. This is a beautifully adapted series with wonderful costumes and I would really recommend both the first series and the second series (which should be out on DVD soon) to anyone who enjoys period dramas. It has romance, comedy and tragedy and although it is not a fast paced thriller has some brilliant, heartwarming stories of times gone by. Look out for the 3rd series in 2010!

Summary: Very Enjoyable
