Nope. Every last one of 'em is in it. No exceptions. :)
(As someone said back when it aired on the Beeb, don't expect anything huge and pricey from the BBC for the rest of the year; they've clearly blown their entire budget on this show!)
So that's what it is! I've been watching it for a while wondering randomly what book it was supposed to be because I didn't recognize it. Now I'm really confuzzled because 'Cranford' is my favorite book in the entire history of literature. Who are all these strange people? I'm so confused.
I looked up the synopsis and it seems to be a confabulation of three different books one of which is 'Cranford', using characters from 'Cranford' with most of plot and characters coming from the other books. I guess the title means it's about the town Cranford (the setting of a number of otherwise unrelated books by Mrs. Gaskell) and not an adaptation of the book Cranford. I had my hopes up when I heard they were making it but I cannot love it now, no matter how good it really is.
Oh I see. Yes, that's kind of strange. Like that TV series "Road to Avonlea" which was a combination of "The Story Girl" and "The Golden Road", which were my two favorite LM Montgomery books, but then they threw in a bunch of other stuff and it was all just kind of like Avonlea fanfic. (Though really it was a pretty decent series. Did that even come on TV down here? Or did I just watch it with my cousins in Canada? I can't even remember now.)
