Nitpicking

Although I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series, there are a few, shall we say technical details that bothered me throughout all 4 seasons. In the first episode we find that Lark Rise and Candleford are separated by something over 8 miles of road. A bit less if you cut through the fields however the walking time in either case would be about 3 hours each way. Through all of the episodes we see people moving between the communities as if they were only minutes apart. How did they move about so quickly? My other observation is that although Lark Rise is obviously a farming community, we never see any farm animals. Once there was a chicken on Twister's roof, Sydney's goose and of course there was Queenie's Berkshire pig in season-4, but no real farm animals. They always had lots of stews and sausages to eat though. These technical oversights always bother me, it is my one weakness...

score 10/10
