A lovely adaptation. Follows the book quite well, all the main events are protrayed that I thought needed to be. Some of the speeches are a bit different and don't give the same atmosphere I got when reading the book, but it's really not an issue. VERY well acted, I cried three times the first time I watched it. Definitely a must for anyone who likes this kind of drama/adapation as it's well worth the watch. Also, if you are a fan of the yummy Richard Armitage who plays the male lead, you will love it!

This beautifully crafted adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South brings the early victorian period to life!! Staring Richard Armitage (Robin Hood, more recently as seen on Spooks) in one of his finest and most powerful roles. A must for anyone who loves period drama and historical romance, its powerful and gritty not your average sacrine sop story!
