"THE BBC HALL OF FAME"
How I wish that my local video store stocked all these great videos since no one outshines the BBC when it comes to producing great period dramas.

For anyone new to period films, if you're looking for my top recommendation, it would be the Elizabeth Gaskell collection which contains 3 of my all-time favourites: Wives & Daughters, Cranford and North & South!
Here's a look at some of the best mini-series and films made over the years including those based on Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, etc.
