      • This five-parter is composed from three Elizabeth Gaskell novellas and an essay. They are Cranford, Mr Harrison's Confessions, My Lady Ludlow and The Last Generation.

      • The Cotswolds village of Lacock was used for the outdoor scenes. The mainly National Trust owned town was transformed into Cranford. This involved removing all modern building adornments, such as alarm boxes, net curtains, wires and Yale locks! The tarmac roads were covered in a mix of sand, grit and peat.
