Return To Cranford (2010)
Mild themes and violence
| Actors: | Judi Dench, Julia Mckenzie, Imelda Staunton, Lisa Dillon, Deborah Findlay, Barbara Flynn, Alex Jennings, Jim Carter |
The two-part saga Return to Cranford opens to a struggling Cranford, a traditional English village that in autumn 1844 is airing the conflicts that accompany progress. Miss Matty Jenkyns (Judi Dench), after having closed her business in the last series, is happily babysitting the child of her maid, Martha (Claudie Blakley). This gives the ladies in town something to gossip about, as does every other small event in this chatty group. The same women populate this new Cranford--the snooty Miss Jamieson (Barbara Flynn), nosy Miss Pole (Imelda Staunton), Miss Forrester (Julia McKenzie), Peggy (Jodie Whittaker), and Erminia (Michelle Dockery)--while a few new men added into the mix creates options for love interests throughout.

Nice to have all the loose ends from the previous series tied up. You could watch
it on its own - but it's better to have seen the original programme first as it puts
everything in context.

Brilliant bonnet-buster. But make sure to watch the Cranford series first. The director entirely assumes that the viewer is familiar with the earlier series.
