Lark Rise To Candleford - 2x05 Episode 5

Episode 5

The usually preternaturally serene Emma Timmins, Laura's mother, is feeling a bit sad, as if life has passed her by. So she offloads her baby on to cousin Dorcas and goes cartwheeling in the sunshine. Ah, wasn't life grand in those days?

The arrival of a baby at the post office has a curious effect on Dorcas, (Julia Sawalha) who gets all gooey and simpers so much one fears she might combust and leave little more than a puddle of oestrogen. In fact, most of Candleford's women get broody, making them weepy, jealous and possessive. There is some diversion, though, as yet another stranger arrives in town - a handsome young clockmaker who's come to do a job for James Dowland, a man with enough smarm to butter a cottage loaf.

Though James is getting nowhere with Dorcas and has to listen to some manly advice from Laura's salt-of-the-earth dad about how to handle a woman. It's all just lovely, and larded with enough bucolic whimsy to strip the paint from a barn door.
