Cranford

Drama60 min per episode

Cranford follows the residents of a small Cheshire town in the 1840s, where a close-knit circle of women governs social life just as the Industrial Revolution begins to press in from the outside. Judi Dench and Imelda Staunton are among the familiar faces in a community built on calls, gossip, etiquette, and watchful attention to every new arrival. As visitors from the city, shifting class expectations, and modern ideas disturb old routines, village comedies and private disappointments unfold side by side.
