  • why can't this be my life? why can't i have thornton????

  • Did she just snort at 8:12?

  • love how Mr Hale tries to change the subject but FAILS

  • wow...you can cut the sexual tension between Margaret and Thornton with a knife!

  • Mr Bell is such a shit stirrer. I love it.

  • @Jeno404 hehehehe!

  • I always lol when mr hale tries to change the subject by talking about the table settings :D

  • Go girl! Snap him at his dinner table.

  • i want to have his babies.

  • @moondancerbaby1 Lmbo!

  • BBC is the best in the world.

  • @lalala13nhc I thought he was ugly the first time I saw him until he smouldered at me with all that suppressed passion and spoke in the accent and what can I say? But yeah I takes a hile to get around the whole Mama's boy thing and the whole negative attitude 'I can't be criticised' thing.

    Even Margaret had to grow though. She was very bigoted at the beinning and overly critical. I love her accent too.

  • @lalala13nhc Thats why she had to reject him the first time around.To give him a resounding wake up call. He never gets criticised cause darling Mama applauds everything he does,

  • @F4NT4FRU1TTW15T

    This series is so unfair to Thorton's character. Dr. Donaldson was introduced by Thornton to Hales'. He fixed their house. Found their house. She did not reject him just to punish him for the mama's boy. She was thinking that -what she did is terrible infront of all the people, though it needed. As she is the one to put him in the danger. But in the book it says, he does not care even if Ms. Hale does not love him, he will continually to do so. Please read the book.

  • @Roy5631 I've read the book more than once. I wasn't commenting on the book- I was commenting on the series. She rejected him in the novel because she didn't want to admit she was attracted to him- chrisitian concepts of shame at work- and also because there was still an almost complete break down in communication and understanding. Sweetheart, even in the book he is a Mama's boy. I thought the series mis represented Margaret a little because he always seems to get the the better of her when in

  • @F4NT4FRU1TTW15T the book it is quite clear that her arguments are stronger. Elizabeth Gaskell was very definitely on the side of the working classes and this novel was in a way, her attempt to mitigate the sever criticism she had recieved as a result of writing Mary Barton. Thornton is her trying to humanise the Masters. But not entirely. I think its fair to say that neither of them really know eachother til near the end of the novel/series.

  • Mr Bell is such a stirrer but I love him anyway. Shame I don't feel the same about Fanny. Way to put the poor girl on the spot.

  • This Programme Is Like A YoYo, One Minute Margaret and Mr Thornton Are Enemies The Next They Are Friends And Then They Are Enemies Again.....Confirm Your Emotions People!

  • Oh Mr. Bell, stirring up mischief and mayhem. That dinner convo went from romantic to train wreck. Anytime Thornton and Margaret are about to see eye-to-eye, they get in an argument. That's real sexual tension there lol

  • @peanutvera Its's such a shame this is a period piece so there isn't any satisfying bodice ripping to let out all the sexual tension.

  • I love Mr. Thornton's smile at 1.17. He is really in love with her! Oh would there be someone to smile at us, ladies, in this manner!

  • Mr Thornton makes his living by exploiting workers and busting strikes. He needs to be hung by his balls..

  • Mr Thornton almsaldmaelncknsdsdccda

  • Sooo Dixon is a lesbian?

  • @enchantedmistress06 In the past the relationship of a servant and a master was built on loyalty and love (if the master was good). It was not uncommon to have servants give there lives to save the life of their master. That love she talks about was built upon Mrs hails kindness.

  • @shaqdaddy11 so shes still is a lesbian....?

  • @MysitcRiver29 No, you can love someone without it being sexual.

  • it's so pleasant to see a pretty actress, with a true woman body. Daniela is stunning, not like all the other actresses who are skeletons (that ugly Keira Knightley is the worst of all)

  • @msinvincible2000 I dont think it is right to judge an actor on how they look especially healthwise. Kiera knightley is a terrific actor, in my opinion, whether skinny, fat, chubby it shouldnt matter! oh and btw you probably have skeletons of ur own since u like being invinsible! stop hating

  • @msinvincible2000 I think everybody is beautiful. Yes, Keira did get very skinny for awhile, but she is also naturally thin. I still think Keira is gorgeous! Some people are born with very skinny figures, ranging all the way to full figures so don't look down on someone because they are too skinny or too fat or anywhere in between :)

  • Mr Bell reminds me of a creepy old rich man in neighbourhood

  • I love Mr Bell! He is such a trouble-maker!!!

  • I wish Margaret had worn something more modest. Her chest is far more exposed than anyone else at the dinner.

  • @Sing4God87 That was the style, and she is from the south, thats what they wore, did you see BBC'S pride and prejudice

  • @Sing4God87 That was the style of the day, remember that she is different being that she's from the south did you see BBC'S pride and prejudice , they wore those type of dresses too.

  • What exactly is wrong with her mother?

  • @MrCateyanne Broken heart for her son, and for the fact that her crazy husband relocated them from Heaven to the factories.

  • I love Dixon so much (':

  • OMG, He has only eyes for her.

  • he smiles when she says that it's good to see both sides of the question...but at the same time when he hears of her actually having practised that, he gets upset. and then he wonders why she refuses him. he is supposed to be a constant, steady character, yet his actions are not that much in line with his thoughts.

  • @Don't be daft, He's in love, of course he's not consistent.

  • he looks so disappointed when Mr. Bell takes her away, like he was planning to go back to her after that slimy Slickson finished with his complaints

  • Is this set around the time of the potato famine, when most Irish were starving? Those workers look dead on their feet.

  • @Rosebloom12 The book was published in 1855, and the famine was 1845-49 so yeah about ten years afterwards :)

  • Dutch is like a phonetic form of German- looking at the subtitles. I haven't seen Dutch subtitles before....

  • mr. bell and fanny are instigators

  • God bless Dixon.

  • Oh yeah! I share the name with the doctor. Booyah! XD

  • @lindamas1 The party scene reminded me that there's a scene missing: the section in which Mr Hale visits the Thornton home and expresses, while standing on the porch with Mrs. Thornton, his surprise that she chooses the live near the mill when it's so noisy. I think it must also be in that section that Fanny tells Margaret about the water mattress, which she doesn't use but is supposed to be very good for the back. Did I miss that section?

  • Okay - North vs South? I prefer North. Southerns of that time may have been more sensitive and finely-tuned to people's feelings - but the Northerners are made of sturdy, proud stock and have a kind of unflinching way of living. Also they're not a bit pretentious. I like them , curiously.

  • Okay I don't completely understand, why exactly is Thornton annoyed with Margaret? Only because she supports a striker who worked at his mill?

  • @EverlastingxHope She refused to shake his hand, making him think her snobbish. However, in the book it was explained that she was surprised with his familiarity, not realizing that the handshake was common and impartial in the north.

  • LOL @ the table settings

  • I love her dress but I would not be able to talk to my mother with my chest hanging out like that lol! I know it was the style though

  • because of all the trouble in the cotton mills the trade moved to the states and the mostly female workers had a much better deal, many followed the trade and emigrated, you can't blame them!

  • Wow, she DID look back.

  • Her mother is so weak and stupid. What an useless woman!

  • @qkpereira she is a traditional woman from south, and a mother may never see her son again, try to understand, sometimes, leaving homeland is very hard for the old

  • sometimes i just want to punch mr bell in the face. it's like he only tries to stir up trouble! the only reason he mentions that voucher works at Marlborough mills is to piss mr thornton off and make him angry with margaret! arghhh

  • @lacrosseplayer49 because he's a pervert and wants margaret for himself perhaps?

  • Ouch. Awkward.

  • what film/miniseries do you recommend if I like this?

    I've already seen all of the jane austen ones, wuthering heights, jane eyre, little dorrit, tess of the d'urbervilles..

    thanks :)

  • @jerona cathrine cookson posted by creedylady

  • @jerona I know your post is a year old, but have you seen Downton Abbey? :)

  • @LivingintheShire DOWNTON ABBEY IS THE SHIT <3 <3 <3

  • @bellarose521 Hell yeah it is!! XD

  • i know it was natural back then to just rest your hands there but like at 4:18 its just an akward place to rest your hand! haha o well so far i really like this show!

  • that look at 1:19....

  • Ouch. Awkward dinner subjects.

  • XD i can´t stop myself reading the dutch subtitlesXD eventhough i can´t understand most of it... i just have to look at them^^ i can´t get used to subtitles in films

  • hahahaha Mr. Hale. Failed attempt -- fine tablesettings!! lol -- but keep trying good sir. :P

  • I love Dixon in this part.

  • @mimimirwitch I couldn't agree more. I think that Pauline Quirke is a fantastic actress, and excels both in comedy and drama. The scene with her and Margaret, is so innocent, so honestly beautiful, I simply can't watch it without being reduced to floods of tears.

  • Mr. Bell is SUCH an instigator! I love it!

  • there they go getting mad at each other  again!

  • Thornton is already falling in love with Margaret, but at the same time, he comes off mean to her *the dinner scene*

  • LOL, Margaret's dress looks like lettuce! XD Normally I love period costumes, but this one's just silly.

    And that was the WORST change of subject, Mr. Hale! So, so awkward. XP For how much trouble Margaret's tongue gets them in, I wonder that her father doesn't admonish her to hold it, considering the time period and that she's a woman.

  • @Sarandib22 yep I agree...but still I luv her lettuce-like dress :)

  • wow, it's totally pick on Margaret day. Thank god her dad likes table-settings so much

  • asshole. he doesnt even stand up for her (i mean under the circumstances he wouldn't) but i mean they can all see shes on the verge of tears... how sad.

  • Aww poor margaret she tries to stand up for thornton against nicholas higgings and does the same for nicholas against Thornton she cant win x) .. if that makes sense? :L :? xx

  • they are so mean to each other sometimes!

  • she is by far the best movie cryer i have ever seen

  • how did the mom become ill? because of 'weak spirits'?

  • @broadworld It seems to be depression.

  • Oh I see. Thanks.

  • @broadworld in the book i don't think they

    ever name the disease but she gets "attacks"

    of some sort i'm thinking consumption or

    something

  • @broadworld

    I got the impression she had a weak heart, and the stress and depression from their circumstances and Frederick's situation were more than her body could handle. She doesn't show any outward symptoms of an illness like consumption. The "attacks" might have been panic attacks, or just chest and herat pains from the stress.

  • I love the actor who is playing Mr Bell he is amaizing. I cant look throu him. He has a mistery around him. I really enjoy him. Gretae actor. And he looks soo well English :)

  • Mr. Bell is a bit of a monkey in this scene!

  • OH SHUT UP FANNY !!!

    1:20

  • Man Mr Bell (?)really dropped Margaret in it...I wonder if he did it on purpose....

  • i don't know if she realises or not and i understood the first time when henry asked her to marry him and she said no because she clearly had shown no affection but seriously the way she just STARES at thornton and seems obsessed with him sometimes i can see why people would percieve it that way. Then she goes and acts as if she never did anything wrong, and showed no signs..BAH!

  • I know I find that really weird as well, I don't know whether its some sort of strange fascination but surely when he proposes she cannot completely deny she had never ventured such a thought.

  • she has brass balls. I would have left.

  • that's one hell of a very low neckline there :)

  • @olooshia yeah how did she not spill soup in her cleavage. it had to happen!

  • @olooshia LOL no wonder thornton liked it ;)

  • @olooshia it's not that low. there's just so much stuffed into it... lol

  • Comment removed

  • Why in every period drama i see the majority food choice is soup....i ALWAYS see them slurping soup!>!>!>! UGHH didn't they eat anything else? lol.

  • @britnicoley i like soup

  • cos there are so many people at victorian dinner parties, it's cheaper for the production team to give them bowls of water instead of food. :P

  • Because soup is awkward to eat? no clue. : )

  • Soup was one of the several courses served and usually among the first, I think, kind of like a starter course...

  • For some reason I feel like Margaret is doing the wrong thing. She gives off the feeling of Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice. And it turned out she was wrong all along...

  • margaret looks exactly like "myriam fares" a lebanese singer

  • @chickandcute She wishes.

  • I just love when Margaret looks back at Thornton when her father's friend takes her away. He looks like he is so envious of the gentleman at that moment.

  • that smile at 1:20!!! i wanna get me some of that!!!!!!!

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with Mrs. Hale? In the book everytime they start talking about it, it skips to the next scene and they make it sound like the worst thing possible.

  • Basically, she's sick. They never really specify what kind of illness she has.

  • I think it's a mix of depression ("low spirits") and a sensitiviy to the polluted air. She is used to the clean air in the country side, and Milton is extremely polluted due to the mills, so that makes her very weak. Essentially she was always frail, and now she has just about lost the will to live.

  • @carolyn5591

    I think you are right.

  • @Stranger16100 I think the sickness is called Failure to Thrive.

  • @Stranger16100 Wait, no. I take my last comment back. Its not Failure to Thrive.

  • When dinner conversations start to get tense, just bring up the table settings! Nice work Mr. Hale, lol

  • @tiffers1912 Hahaha! Cute little Mr. Hale. 

  • @tiffers1912 lol!! brother was smooth. lol!!

  • OOoo the tension!

  • i really like Margrets party dress!

  • Comment removed

  • i feel so sorry for the mum :'(

  • this is so great - thanx for uploading it - i have been looking for the full episodes for ages!!!! And now i can finaly watch them!!!

  • Comment removed

  • dankje voor de nederlandse ondertiteling!!

  • this is really random, but it's so interesting how similar english and dutch are.

  • hahahaha. daar heb je een beetje gelijk in. id have to agreee with you :P

  • Perhaps there are some interesting films like N&S in Dutch with English subtitles? I am sure that there are excellent authors like Gaskell and Austen in other languages besides English. Can you recommend any?

  • Actually I have just found "Black Book". What a wonderful fim!

  • English is primarily a Germanic language, and Dutch is Germanic too. Thank youuuu Anglo Saxon invaders. ;)
