Must admit I haven’t seen The Night Watch, the new BBC adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel set during the Second World War, as yet – though I do hope to do so. It was shown a few nights ago in the UK.
However, the BBC TV Blog has kindly been in touch with me to ask me to pass on a link to a fascinating piece by production designer Martin Boddinson about how he converted the sets for Lark Rise to Candleford for the interiors in The Night Watch – a real challenge given the very different periods of the two dramas! I know a lot of people who visit my blog are fans of Lark Rise, so thought you might be interested in reading Martin’s piece.
Does this mean it’s the end for Lark Rise to Candleford? I really hope not, I love this series and miss it.
Nice to be updated! I hope there will be more Lark Rise enjoyed the series. Just saw the Night Watch which was a very interesting story.
Thanks.

Hi Jules and Karolyn, thanks for commenting. Lark Rise has finished, I’m afraid, as the writer wanted to move on to other projects after four series – the last episode was shown in February in the UK. Here is a link to a report about it:

Thanks for the link! I guess all good things must come to an end! Makes us appreciate the effort that made them so good. :)
Very interesting. It made me sad that Night Watch is not “available in my area” (i.e., I couldn’t see the stills or UTubes or whatever they were). I did love _Tipping the Velvet_ and got myself _Affinity_ (said to be very Jane Eyre like). I’d love _Night Watch_ too if only for Anna Maxwell Martin. Ellen
