Portrait of a Victorian Novelist by Barry Campbell
Narrated by Rosalie Crutchley
with Thelma Whiteley as Mrs Gaskell

'She was a noble-looking woman, with a queenly presence, and her high, broad, serene brow and finely-cut mobile features were lighted up by a constantly varying play of expression as she poured forth her wonderful talk.'
A look at the life and work of the writer who interpreted her times and surroundings in such classic works as Cranford, Mary Barton and Wives and Daughters.
With ANGELA PLEASENCE, TOM WILKINSON, ROBERT LANG, KATHRYN HURLBUTT, LILLIAS WALKER, CAROLE BOYD, EILEEN TULLY, BRETT USHER, JOHN WEBB
