I haven't watched any of the Lark Rise or the Cranford spinoffs ~ love both the originals too much to bear 'reworkings' of this sort. For that matter, I generally avoid any adaptations of books I particularly love as they rarely get them right [both the Wodehouse series, the Carmichael & the Fry/Laurie, which have been mentioned recently on the Ian Carmichael obit thread, were honourable exceptions — but the much praised Carmichael~LordPeterWimsey series, otoh, got all the dons in Gaudy·Night as wrong as it possibly could! & I know whereof I speak, having contributed the Dorothy L Sayers entry to The Continuum Encyclopedia Of British Literature (NY 2003)].

My consolation is ever that, when these piddling ephemera are long-forgotten, the books will still be there.
