• North And South

  Ruth Craig 26 April 2005

  

  A sympathetic and genuine adaptation of the superbly written novel by Elizabeth Gaskill. True fans of the novel may not like all the changes to the story but they are in keeping, I believe, with Gaskill's tale of a feisty young woman who finds that she is not always correct in her judgements of otehrs. Provides plenty of laughs, a few tears and Richard Armitage certainly makes for a fitting Thornton! Recommended for all fans of costume dramas and good literary adaptations!

BBC television adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's passionate love story, set across the social divides in the changing world of Victorian industrial society. Margaret Hale (Daniella Denby-Ashe) is a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton. In the shock of her move, she misjudges charismatic cotton mill-owner John Thornton (Richard Armitage) , whose strength of purpose and passion are a match for her own pride and wilfulness. When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict. As events spiral out of control, Margaret - to her surprise - finds herself falling in love with Thornton.
