    Magical escapism to another world

    Based on the autobiographical book by Flora Thompson, this takes you back to a time long lost and allows you to escape from todays hectic world to a time so very different from the present,. Yes maybe it does not fully show the results of the vast dfferences in wealth between rich and poor, but this is the BBC at its best, with stunning visuals, briilliant acting and haunting music, what more can I say, if you like this sort of thing then this is one of the best, If you don't then nothing I can say will change your mind.
