S01E01 Part 1
In Cranford all the householders above a certain rent are women. They are the architects of the town's social image. Occasionally a man breaks into the circle, with interesting results.
Miss Matty takes up again with a dear old friend and the ladies are excited to learn of the impending arrival of Lady Glenmire.
Set in the early 1840s, this is the original BBC miniseries of Elizabeth Gaskell's classic tale of a fictional Victorian country village in which the genteel ladies of Cranford struggle to face an uncertain future with dignity and 19th Century decorum.
