The second installment of Cranford (on PBS’ Masterpiece Theater) continues tomorrow, May 11 (Sunday) night. Cranford is based on three novels by Elizabeth Gaskell.

If you can’t watch this series on TV the installments are available online for a limited period of time. Episode 1 is available now and Episode 2 will be available online beginning May 12.

I’m enjoying the myriad threads connecting the people in Cranford. The history and attention to detail (as well as the acting) are all well-done.
