Lark Rise To Candleford

I do hope this is wrong! Not the part about there being a Series 4 of course, but that there’s only going to be 6 episodes!! To wait 9 months for new Lark Rise and to only have 6! A little sad.

i sort of agree with you susan. its bad enough we have to wait a year for the next series, but to hear it will only be on for 6 wekks is disappointing!:(

I agree with this notion there should be more than six episodes! However, I am so glad to hear about a series four!

WHAT ONLY 6 EPISODES.

come on bbc, this is surely one of the best to come from bbc drama. i could watch it 52 weeks a year.

totally agree with you, jon…..this is my favourite BBC drama. (I did really enjoy the recent Emma adaptation and the Sense and Sensibility though.) Lark Rise is the best continuing series.

If they are six top quality, achingly scripted masterpieces then I’ll take it!!!

They should condsider making it into a weekly soap! I can’t think of anything better to do on a Sunday evening! )

i completely agree!! i couldnt think of anything better!

I am very very pleased that there is a 4th series being done,but 6 episodes only !

It should be an on going concern for as long as it can – I’m a massive fan and it is as big a Sunday fixture as Roast potatoes

I do hope that the beeb are not cost cutting on this splendid programme. If they are trying to save money may I suggest cutting that drivel Eastenders back to 2 episodes a week, then maybe us Lark Rise fans can have our 12 episodes back, we have to wait long enough for them

Come on BBC, what are you thinking, we need 12 episodes, the best drama you have done for years, and you make everyone wait for a whole year and just give us 6 episodes, PLEASE we all wont 12 episodes

This is the best series the bbc have done in a long time. I look forward to it all sunday!

Can we please have more scenes with Alf in too.

Count us in here in Canada. Love this series and so glad to hear it will continue. But only 6 episodes? Aw shucks, eh!

As a ‘big strapping lad’ I did not want to watch these series at first , However, I was persuaded to watch a single episode by my wife. Unfortunately I am now completely hooked these wonderful have now become my One Weakness. Please, Please, Please let there be many more series. I too could watch and enjoy this all year round.

OK, BBC, let’s do a compromise. You get your six episodes… but let’s make each of them two hours long.

I completly agree with everyone. Only 6 episodes!? Robert I love your idea. Or give us 12 episodes and have them as 2 hours anyway. The funny thing is I can’t really remember why I watched it on the very first one. I’ve been hooked ever since! Julia is an amazing actress, she can perform brilliantly in anything! My one weakness!!

Thrilled that there is going to be a fourth series just sad about the fact of waiting a year and then on top only having 6 episodes :_-( I love this series and like alot of my fellow LR2C fans I could watch it 52weeks a year.Its a great sunday night programme, if it wasnt for this programme Sunday night tv would be so boring,I love the cast theyr amazing and the story lines are brill!!Totally hooked will be devastated when its gone for good!

If the bbc want to attract the public to watch more of there programs then this is the kind of thing that will bring them to watch BBC the acting in this episode was second to none. I hope there is more of LR TO CF. if not more of the same sort of period. R

love lark rise so much. it really is food for the soul.
when it is on my daughter husband and i have tea and cakes on our best china. a tribute to dorcas and a delicious sunday eve treat

Oh to have to wait a year and then only six episodes! Unfair! I wish the BBC would release a Music CD of some of the lovely old English Folk Songs used in the series, like An Acre of Land and The Keeper.

Love it Love it, another series yipee, and yes – make it 12 episodes please! Where is it filmed? Can we go on set? Great bunch of fab actors and thanks so much to the crew.

I do not like or trust the BBC after their bad weather predictions back in winter but I have to say, this is probably the best show on television next to the simpsons and if anything on the BBC should go it’s those boring programmes they show during the weekdays, alternitavly they could make more channels on sky or freeview for those other programmes if anybody does watch them!

Why only six episodes BBC? This is so much better than eastenders or corinaton street, I know it may sound strange but I don’t really know the difference between them and or which channel they’re on, for all I’m concerned they could be on sky sports. I know many more people who have just discovers larkrise and love it! I have previously made complaints to sky, cbbc and other services and I’ll do it again!

Sunday nighes will be bereft from now on. Glad there will be a 4th Series and it HAS to be 12 episodes. But a long time to wait. I know the stories from the books ran out a while ago, but there are LOTS more tales to be told about Lark Rise and Candleford folks. This is the sort of thing that the BBC does so well.

I love this series! My fingers are crossed that there will be a 4th series! and 12 episodes! I have the other two series on dvd and its the perfect thing to watch when u want to escape ‘eveyday’ life! Love it!

Does anybody know to what address/department do we write in at the BBC to show our support for the series? We may have run out of stories from the book but enough is known about Flora’s life to perhaps write the series up to the point Laura gets married and moves away. Wouldn’t that be a fitting close for the whole series? Definately need to see Alf and Minnie’s wedding, and Thomas and Margareth need to have a real baby to play with Amelia Cordelia. Or is it Cordelia Amelia ? There is so much potential for character and plot development. And please, we must have a happy ending for Miss Lane. I say, bring back one of her old flames, preferrably the school master in series 1, there was real chemistry there.

Here’s a link to bombard the BBC with thanks for Lark Rise To Candleford and request another series!!

I cannot believe that the BBC are going to make us wait a whole year and that there will only be 6 episodes. I just love my Sunday evenings because of ‘Larkrise’ and am lost when the series ends. Please, please give us another series very soon and please make it as long as possible. All my friends watch it and love it. This is the BBC at its best. It will be a sad day when the period dramas are cut. Very sad.

I like your idea Simone. If people who who like the show write in to the BBC then they might make it 12 episodes. After all there is over 7 million viewers. Period dramas are the height of the BBC. I wonder if the actors are unhappy with the prospect of only 6 episodes. Come on writers, make some more episodes! Give us all our one weakness!

Suffering serious larkrise withdrawal, why can’t we have a weekly series at least 37 weeks a year?

Of course, we could all just read the books, make a book club of it. That would keep us busy, eh?

I’ve read one of the books and it was great. Whenever I read one of the names I have the person from the show in my head.

I love Larkrise and I hope series 4 sees the return of James Dowling.

I live in Queensland, Australia. I found Lark Ride to Candleford whilst browsing ebay and searching for new BBC dramas. As an Anglophile (though 2nd generation Aussie male line, 3rd generation Aussie female line)I love all things British! I am always on the lookout for DVD’s from the UK. I have now bought the three series of L R to C direct from the UK on ebay and today finished watching the last episode of Series 3. So I HAD to look up the website to check if there would be a 4th series. Yipee!! Bonza mate!….. (actually no one in Australia EVER says Bonza mate! yikes!!) You people in the UK may have to wait a few months for Series 4, but I have to wait until it comes up for sale on ebay. The ABC shops rarely sell new BBC dramas, but seem to wait til the series are shown on our ABC TV. Our own illustrious ABC TV (equivilant of your BBC) in its wisdom has chosen NOT to play the series at all here. BUT, there may yet be hope for all the deprived BBC drama loving people here in Oz who have never heard of LRtoC. After all we did EVENTUALLY get the first series of Cranford! (I’d already bought it from the UK and watched both series by then). I’ve also had the delight of finding other new BBC dramas on ebay, such as Berkeley Square, and consider myself very fortunate to be able to acquire them.
Just had to say I LOVE LR to C and I loan my copies to a friend who is so excited when I hand over a new series that she AND her husband sit and watch the whole series non stop.
So, here’s an Aussie who’s grateful to ebay and those wonderful people who sell new BBC drama for underprivileged Australians to discover and fall in love with. Since I’ve now reached the magical age of seventy, I may not have been around when our esteemed ABC TV decided to start showing any of these series.
Long Live the series of Lark Rise and Candleford and all who act (produce, direct etc etc) in them. Liz

Please could you release a CD of all the folk songs you have used. Everytime I watch the DVDs I find myself still humming certain tunes the next day! Being a musician I would really welcome one. The only one I know is `When the Roll is Called Up Yonder` which my grand mother taught me 50yrs ago! It is a wonderful series – please keep in going as long as possible.

They have just started to film the fourth series – yippee!!! Somewhere near Bath, I think.
