Matthew Macfadyen is fantastic as Prior Phillip (as someone described him a "hunk of a monk" ) But the stand out performance for me is Ian MacShane as Waleran Bigod - a very very bad bishop....Ian MacShane should win LOTS of awards!!

This sounds fantastic - I looked it up on IMdb and I really hope it gets shown this side of the pond. If anyone has seen a trailer for it, do tell! I even looked up the book and the reviews on that are brilliant as well, so I shall add it to my wish list (it's such a long list).

Cranford is really funny in places. The cast is superb and really bring what is a pretty dull book to life.
