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 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!

Comment from Sky

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.

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.

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!

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.

I’ve watched the 3 series of Lark Rise to Candleford and as everyone else thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Julia Sawahli, I first saw her in Pride and Prejudice and Absolutely Fabulous. She is beautiful, elegant, sophisticated, talented, eloquent and I love her. I put her in the same catagorie as Dame Judi Dench. I love Dawn French and have followed her career for years she makes me laugh even in Lark Rise she was funny but tragic, hopefully she will be back in series 4. Linda Basset, I first saw in the BBC version of Sense and Sensibility. most of the other actors I’d never heard of before, but they sure made an impression on me, especially Emma, Laura, the Miss Pratts, Minnie, Margaret, Robert, Alf and Twister. A special mention for Victoria Hamilton. Molly

We, too, love the series. My husband and I were gifted with the first series and we loved the characters, the photography and the music. How rare it is to find a storyline where the whole family can watch and enjoy. We soon purchased the second series and have now just completed the third series while my husband was recovering from surgery.

This series is almost like reading a story because the characters are so fully developed.

This is a series which is followed by people of all ages!

I’m offically addicted to Lark rise to candleford. I watched all 3 series in just 1 week, I would sit up until 5am watching them and was too excited to sleep. I’ve only just moved to England from Australia due to marrying an English man. His mother watches these and now its like a family night. All of us sitting together in the loungeroom watching Lark rise to candleford. More families should do this. I am very excited for series 4 and if this is the end to these brilliant series I hope it will have a fantastic ending. Loved everything about this, hope to see more of this in the future.
