Here are two completed period dramas that I’ll be watching after I finish BBC’s Bleak House (2005), whichI’m really enjoying!
.
THE CRIMSON FIELD (TV 2014)
In an army hospital the staff heal the bodies and souls of men wounded in the trenches. (BBC)
.
JAMAICA INN (TV 2014)
Jamaica Inn is set in 1821. It tells the story of Mary Yellan who lives with Aunt Patience after her mother dies. Mary finds Aunt Patience under the spell of her husband, Joss Merlyn after she arrives at Jamaica Inn. She soon realises that the inn has no guests and it is being used as the hub of Joss’ ‘free’ trade. Mary becomes attracted to Jem Merlyn, Joss’ younger brother who is a petty thief. Mary meets Francis Davey, the parish vicar, and his sister Hannah. (BBC)

The Crimson Field was cancelled by the BBC much to my disappointment. It is such a good show.

6 episodes. 6 SOLID episodes. The BBC is so silly really. It had a good following.

I just read up on it and it said something about wanting to make space for new original dramas. I guess single series dramas? I’m not sure if that’s the best reason to axe a tv show with a good following *sigh*
