Return to Cranford

Return to Cranford is the two-part second series of Cranford, a British television series directed by Simon Curtis. The screenplay by Heidi Thomas is based on material by Elizabeth Gaskell published between 1849 and 1863: the novel Cranford, the novella The Moorland Cottage, and the short story The Cage at Cranford. Themes from My Lady Ludlow, Mr Harrison's Confessions and The Last Generation in England are included to provide continuity with the first series.
