Harmless fun, 25 January 2008
7/10
Author: jkerry58 from United Kingdom

Harmless fun sums it up really, and nice to look at; ideal Sunday night untaxing stuff really. It bears little or no relationship to the books although if it gets people reading them that can only be a good thing. Dawn French lives down to all expectations; the Mrs Arless of the books was a slightly aloof and mysterious figure as I recall, from a different background to the other hamlet women, not a knockabout drunken clown. The accents are interesting too; the only one who has anything approximating to the correct accent for the area is Queenie's husband. I swear that in the first scene in which he appeared, Laura's father had a Scots accent. Pedant Alert: One thing, Lark Rise is based on Juniper Hill in North Oxfordshire near the Northamptonshire border. It is NOT in the Cotswolds. Candleford seems to have been based on a hybrid of nearby towns like Bicester and Banbury.
