"Cranford" is a five-part period drama created by Sue Birtwistle and Susie Conklin for BBC One and written by Heidi Thomas (I Capture The Castle, Madam Bovary, Lilies). Based on three Elizabeth Gaskell novels – Cranford, My Lady Ludlow and Mr Harrison's Confessions – this witty and poignant story follows the small absurdities and major tragedies in the lives of the people of Cranford during one extraordinary year. |

| Cranford in the 1840s is a small Cheshire market town on the cusp of change. The railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the town from Manchester, bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order.The arrival of handsome new doctor, Frank Harrison (Simon Woods) from London causes a stir; not only because of his revolutionary medical methods, but also because of the effect he has on many of the ladies' hearts in the town. Philip plays land agent, Mr Carter. The cast includes Judi Dench as Miss Matty Jenkyns, Imelda Staunton as Miss Pole and Barbara Flynn as Mrs Jamieson. The first episode was transmitted on BBC1 at 9pm 18th November 2007. |
