Lark Rise to Cranford

I have a great fondness for British period pieces, as long as they aren't really sad.  I rented this series and have been enjoying it immensely.  It takes place during the Victorian era, and centers around two communities-- one rural and poor, the other more urban and middle class.  It highlights the struggles and foibles of the people and has been greatly entertaining.  I recommend it, if you enjoy British period pieces.
