Absolutely delightful...as others have commented. Series is a conpilation of the Gaskell books. Some dialogue is lifted straight off the page. A true picture of Victorian life....& what we now laugh at the absurdities. But then it was 'everything'. I really enjoyed the dining scene where they were trying to eat with the 'new dangled fork'. A knife & spoon were the usual utensils & people still ate with their fingers. Queen Victoria deplored the fork & forbade it @ Court as she could never get the hang of it. As usual the costumes & sets & acting were amazing. Hollywood take notice!
