Why haven't I seen Lark Rise to Candleford till now? I love period dramas (most of my favorite drama in TV and films are period ones such as P&P , North & South , Wives and Daughters , Little Dorrit , and Love In a Cold Climate to name some) and this is one of those really good period drama/TV serial that I rarely noticed or heard about, but when I do...it surprises me how it was really good. I can't believe I haven't noticed this series till recently. There can be only 3 reasons why I just discovered this series (better late than never, hehe)... a) It wasn't aired here in the U.S. when it premiered...if it was, I would've heard of it. b) It wasn't shown on PBS' Masterpiece Theatre or Masterpiece Mystery! ...so that was why I've never heard of this. And c) not only that it was a BBC production , but it also aired on UK's BBC1 channel...you know what that means, I don't live in the UK and we don't have BBC1 channel here in the

A few things I wished the P&P DVD would've included in the special features department were: Deleted or Extended Scenes , Outtakes , and  Matthew Macfadyen audition / reading with   Keira Knightley . Also, a Commentary with Keira & Matthew would be cool too as well as Cast Dance Rehearsal clips... though we've seen a few of them included in the behind the scenes clips on the HBO First Look and A Bennet Family Portrait featurettes....and these awesome P&P '05 Diaries (Video Clips links) (I think the UK/International DVD included these documentary or was shown on TV for P&P Promo ...but I'm not quite sure...) as lots of clips there in those behind the scenes showed some potential deleted scenes .   Speaking of deleted scenes ...almost two years ago, I posted here about these possible P&P 05: Deleted Scenes Photos and always wondered if there are more (there were clips of them on the P&P '05 Diaries )...
