Amid all the bleakness of snow, what sheer delight was the return, last night, of the BBC's 'Lark Rise to Candleford' - every bit as beautiful as the last series. Apart from the endlessly entertaining characters and idyllic settings, the stories are always so gentle and so very 'human'. More than any other, this programme shows that real entertainment doesn't require violence or horror. One of the most amazing things is that there aren't even any 'baddies' in it. Those few characters who might at first be perceived as such, nearly always turn out to be 'good' in the end. A real character-driven drama with such unique individuals gathered together, their characters developing with every series. What a thoroughly beautiful programme!
