Sadly I thought this would be depressing and I'm not wrong. BBC dramas ain't what they used to be!

Thinking same tickety boo not understanding why they've started off so bad and harrowing. It's not entertaining, it's upsetting. Not happy, thought it would be a CTM replacement or at least 'How Green is my valley'.

For farmers of that era they seem to have a large (if sparse) house.
Love the young teacher defying the HT.

There's only 6 episodes. Think they are planning on making the other's to span 100 years. Based on this I can't see it happening unless it cheers up a bit. I know it's a reflection of real life but we all have real lives and want entertaining and, as someone said up thread, a feel good factor. It's Sunday night or God's sake, haven't they learned from Downton and CTM??
