Lark Rise to Candleford: Complete Collection
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Lark Rise to Candleford. I like this 40-episode, 2008-2011 BBC series so much that I purchased it and plan to see it over again, perhaps many times, as well as share it with my friends. It is based on Flora Thompson’s semi-autobiographical novels set in Oxfordshire at the end of the 19th Century. In her teens, Laura Timmins leaves the hamlet of Lark Rise for a job in the market town of Candleford, where her mother’s cousin, Dorcas Lane, is postmistress. Life centers around the post offce. We get to know well about a dozen characters and meet others who come and go. The series deals with personal and family issues as well as conflicts between various factions that arise. The scripts are as fine as I have ever seen, the acting superb, the setting and costuming top-notch.-Joyce
This is such a beautifully done series, I was watching it over and over anywhere I could find some PBS station who had it available to see. The quality was often bad, and it was difficult to not have access to it when I wanted to watch it. So, in the middle of one of those nights, I looked online and found the whole collection for sale. It was a fun buy cuz now I have it to re-watch any time. I have loved getting to see it and study the characters..and they always turn up in other BBC productions which is also fun. This series takes you through a time of incredible change in England, as the industrial revolution was just beginning to change how villagers lived and worked. It is a magnificent watch..don’t miss it. If you love Period Pieces, you will love this lovely, and sometimes heartbreaking story. The costuming and sets are simply incredible. It makes you realize how much has changed in one mere century. Recommend it highly.- Lynn Addison
If you’ve ever wanted to turn on the television and be thoroughly uplifted, entertained, touched, made to laugh, possibly even inspired, and, generally, just allowed to escape and be pulled in to a very good story…time and again, each and every episode, then don’t look any further than the ‘Lark Rise’ series. My wife and I are in our late 20s/early 30s, and this is easily the best program we have ever watched. Hands down.- Dusty Rhoads
