Lark Rise To Candelford

[lesbiassparrow]

To cheer myself up I started watching this even though it was a Christmas gift and I should not be watching it so early. I am enjoying it muchly, even though Dawn French's acting is right out of the 'Buxom Wench #4" box. It's all chest heaving and winking.

(I would probably enjoy this more if I hadn't recently been to a lecture on the horrors of urban poverty in the English countryside in the 19th century. I want to think about happy peasants, not people scrubbing for a crust.)

It's quite pleasant viewing really; it reminds me of Cranford a bit. And Dawn French heaves her bosum at least five times a minute.

And I love Cranford! I re-watch it regularly so I'm not sure why Lark Rise made such little impression on me. I should really give it another go.
