Why the hell aren't people like this today ?

This series is absolutely the finest set of programmes I have ever seen on British TV in all my years of watching.

I got hooked on Downton Abbey, but Larkrise to Candleford knocks spots of it.

I do not want to say too much, it's just such a pleasure to watch, and listen to, every word spoken has meaning, the use of the English language is superb, every character is strong, every character has his or her own place in the series.

In its own way this series represents a little Bible. The goodness in everyday life if only people today were'nt so detached from each other.

And also sadly is a huge reflection of how far the Western World has sunk in so many ways over the decades.

I've ticked spoilers, but I don't think there are any.

score 10/10
