These dramas by author Elizabeth Gaskell characterize the finest that BBC drama has to offer.

** “North & South” is the spectacular adaptation of the modern that centers on John Thornton (who represents the industrial north) and Margaret Hale (who represents the idyllic, agricultural south) . Theirs is a war of words, cultures and personalities as Margaret Hale (Daniela Denby Ashe) and her family struggle to adapt to life in the dirty, noisy, mill town of Milton after a carefree, comfortable life in the southern town of Helstone. There her family meets manufacturer John Thornton (played by the unforgettable Richard Armitage) and his family and it is dislike-at-first-sight for Margaret. She finds Mr. Thornton a rough, proud and haughty man who treats his employees with disdain. Mr. Thornton, however, is instantly smitten with the outspoken and brave Margaret. But as Margaret gradually learns to enjoy Mr. Thornton, events assume area that threaten to divide them from each other forever.

** The resplendent “Cranford” starring a bevy of British acting greats led by Judi Dench, Michael Gambon, Eileen Atkins, Francesca Annis and Imelda Staunton. The legend centers around the locals in the sleepy town of Cranford, where everyone makes it their business to know everything about their neighbors. Their lives are turned topsy turvy when a lovely young doctor (Simon Woods) with recent ideas arrives and rumors of the railroad threaten to slay their idyllic town. This is truly an ensemble cast, as all stories intermingle and each character makes an impact of the lives of others in the town. Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins play the Jenkyns sisters; Lisa Dillon play their cousin Mary Smith; Deborah Findlay and Selena Griffiths play the Tomkinson sisters; Imelda Staunton is the quirky and nosy Miss Pole; Barbara Flynn is the beautiful Mrs. Jamieson; Julia Sawalha is the calm spinster Jessie Brown and Jim Carter is her outspoken father; Francesca Annis plays the haughty and aristocratic Lady Ludlow; Greg Wise plays her cousin Sir Charles Maulver; Phillip Glenister plays Lady Ludlow’s land agent, Mr. Carter; and Alex Etel is a young man that Mr. Carter takes on.
What sets these apart from other costume dramas is the consistency of the acting, the high production values, the compelling stories, and memorable characters. I dare you not to feel John Thornton’s hurt as he says “Stare succor at me” as he watches Margaret climb up the carriage on her scheme abet to London, or Harry Gregson’s wound as he says goodbye to a beloved mentor, or the thrill as Roger Hamley sees Molly’s transformation at the Cumnor’s ball. These are extraordinary stories that you will want to perceive over and over, which perform this dvd collection an absolute gem.
I had heard a dinky about Elizabeth Gaskell before. I knew that she had written the biography of Charlotte Bronte but that is all I knew about her. I had never read any of Mrs. Gaskell’s books myself. Recently, I saw Cranford on PBS and decided to retract the DVD of it. When I saw that Amazon offered a collection of three of Mrs. Gaskell’s stories, I decided to win the whole collection. I must say, I Savor all three of these stories and I have near to like Mrs. Gaskell as a writer, even more. If you are a Jane Austen fan, you will be pleased Cranford, Wives & Daughters and North & South by Elizabeth Gaskell, too.
