South Riding stills

24 February 11

Just a quick note, because I watched South Riding on iplayer and capped these as I went along. It's the first episode of the three part drama about a fictional Yorkshire town in the 1930s (and I shuffled the stills, so there shouldn't be any spoilers!). I had heard mixed reviews, but I thought it was a promising start. Anything to help fill the void between now and the return of Upstairs Downstairs and Downton, right?

Oh my house mate just informed me about this, this very evening! The girl in the turquoise blouse near the end, what is the actresses name? I’ve seen her in a couple of things and she’s brilliant!

I recognised her too, but I couldn’t quite place it. I think I saw her play Lyra in His Dark Materials at the theatre!

I do love a good period drama and this one is no exception. The costume and set design are a dream, thanks for sharing.

Only three episodes? Oh, why do they make these so short, it gives me pain! Why not squeeze 12 episodes out of it when they have all the sets and costumes in place? I don’t know how I’ll make it until Downton comes back.

I saw it on Sunday and thought it was beautiful too. Now I’m very much looking forward to the next episode. :)

Not knowing anything about it, I picked up a copy of the South Riding book last year and completely loved it. I was overjoyed to see they had dramatised it. The book raises so many interesting points about this period of life in Britain and it’s great to see them come to life … not to mention Anna Maxwell Martin’s beautiful outfits. Can’t wait for Sunday’s episode…!

This show’s styling is really off the hook. I wish we could get this in the states. Beautiful screen caps, Kristina! Thank you!

I loved Downton Abbey so maybe I should check this out. Looks promising.

I watched this mini series on the BBC too, and loved it!

Just finished watching South Riding (not available yet in the US, but procured, ahem, from the interwebs. Filled the void after Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs – though we’ve only watched episode 1 so far.
