North & South (BBC)

Hi,

chances are, that you haven't seen BBC's "North & South". It's a 4 part Mini-Series from 2004 starring Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe. I still remember seeing it for the first time more than six years ago and I was totally obsessed with it. As a fan of BBC Pride & Prejudice series from 1995 I didn't expect to encouter ever again a drama series which captivated me as much as P&P and even more.

wrote: North and South is a powerful adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's feisty and passionate novel, set across the social divides in the changing world of Victorian industrial society. Margaret Hale is one of literature's most original heroines: 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, 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 - begins to fall in love with Thornton...

I loved everything from music, story, actors to the finale, which has one of the best kisses ever. I recommend to everyone who loves a good romantic drama.

The Kiss.

i watched this on nextflix two or three times, it's really AWESOME!

Oh My!! When this came out on TV here in UK I loved it and told my friend who was away working in Japan at the time (cos we both like period dramas) & when she came back she bought me the DVD & we watched it together lol I really liked it & the ending was so sweet!!!! Maybe its time to dig out the DVD :D

Ahh I love this show. It's one of the few box sets of BBC series that I actually own, and watch over and over again.. and make everyone else I know watch it, over and over again. :)

When I saw it the first time I thought: Yeah it's alright, but not as good as "Pride & Prejudice". I was so wrong. I kept thinking about and rewatched it just a day later and even years later I still watch at least two times a year.

This is one of my favorites! I've watched it a few times now. I love period dramas. I first saw Richard Armitage in this and of course loved him. I found Robin Hood because of this. Richard Armitage, leather, and guyliner? Yes please!
