Dawn French in Lark Rise to Candleford
Dawn French joins the population of the 19th-century market town of Candleford in a new ten-part drama.
The story is recounted by a teenage girl, Laura Timmins, who has left her home in the hamlet of Lark Rise to join the larger town of Candleford.
Among the people living their lives in this countryside chronicle is Caroline Arless (French), a neighbour of Timmins.
Lusty and eccentric, Caroline looks after her four children while her sailor husband is away at sea.
"I wouldn't describe my character as a rebel, more of a bit of a drunk!" says French. "She's quite extreme, in that she drinks too much, laughs too much and sings too much. But she loves her family very much, it's just that she goes over the top sometimes."
Lark Rise to Candleford, Sundays from 13th January 2008, 7.40pm BBC One. Click here for more timings.
