New BBC Drama Filmed In Lacock
« on: November 17, 2007, 01:27:40 PM »

Tommorrow (18/11/2007) sees the first episode of the new BBC drama Cranford , which was filmed in Lacock with a star-studded cast including Dame Judi Dench (link below.)
http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/display.var.1831113.0.lacockbased_tv_drama_begins.php

The five-part series is an adaptation of three of Elizabeth Gaskell's novels set in the fictional North West town of Cranford.

The story :

Cranford in the 1840s is a small Cheshire market town on the cusp of change.

The railway is pushing its way relentlessly towards the town from Manchester , bringing fears of migrant workers and the breakdown of law and order.

I wonder if they filmed the nearby Melksham line as part of this?

Scenes for The Other Boleyn Girl were shot at Lacock Abbey in 2006 and stars include Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Eric Bana.

Great Chalfield Manor near Melksham was also used to in the filming of the epic, which is about the relationship between King Henry VIII and Mary Boleyn, the sister of his wife Anne.
