How could I Forget???

"Welcome to Cranford, circa 1840...a rural English town where etiquette rules, undergirded by a healthy amount of gossip. Modernity is making a move in town as construction of a railway comes harrowingly close. Cranford's eclectic residents, among them Matty Jenkyns (Dame Judi Dench) her sister Deborah (Dame Eileen Atkins), and Miss Pole (Imelda Staunton), stay immersed in the sweet pleasures and sometimes heartbreaking realities of simple village life. But when a handsome, young doctor arrives with cutting-edge new techniques, it rapidly becomes clear that as the world changes, so Cranford will change with it. Based on three Elizabeth Gaskell novels (Cranford, My Lady Ludlow and Mr. Harrison's Confessions), and boasting an all-star cast, Cranford breathes life into one town during one extraordinary year." - from the PBS site
I was up way too late last night (well, for ME, as I get up at 5AM) onaccountabecause of Masterpiece Theater's new and amazing Cranford. Go to that link and click on the picture for a video. Needless to say, I was ensconced for the duration. Remember..."Speculation is the enemy of caaaaaaaaaaaalm". I will say that when the cow fell into the lye pit and burned it's hair off and the ladies made jammies for it, I laughed out loud! If you missed it for some reason, for a limited time you may go online and view entire segments!!! How Keen is THAT?!!!!!
