A powerful adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's feisty and passionate love story, set across the social divides in the changing world of Victorian industrial society. Margaret Hale is one of literature's most original heroines: a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton. In the shock of her move, she misjudges charismatic cotton mill-owner John Thornton, whose strength of purpose and passion are a match for her own pride and wilfulness. When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict. As events spiral out of control, Margaret - to her surprise - begins to fall in love with Thornton...

I thought nothing could top Pride and Prejudice 1995 for me until this wonderful adaptation came along. Wonderful casting and wonderful acting all round.
Moving, romantic and a good representation of the social history of the times. Richard Armitage was outstanding as Mr Thornton, the owner of Marlborough Mills. He was harsh yet caring and Mr Armitage was rather easy on the eyes in the role too.
The train scene kiss is a must see. I would rate it best costume drama kiss ever. So good I have two copies of it.

A fantastic film I love this film and when it was on sunday nights, I had to hide the controls and banish anyone that dared to talk during it..! It's beautifully acted out and just a heart wrenching love story..... Richard plays a great character and have continued to admire him in other programes since this one.. Watch it you wont be disappointed!
