In England in the early 1930's, 20 year old Flora Poste, recently orphaned and left with only 100 pounds a year, goes to stay with distant relatives on Cold Comfort Farm. Everyone on the gloomy farm is completely around the twist, but Flora tries to sort everything out...

This is yet another great adaptation of a great book - and it's so delightfully funny and cleverly-written. Kate is so lovely in her role as Flora. Her appearance as a penniless heroine reminded me of Emma Woodhouse and Northanger Abbey. Don't miss the hilarity-driven performances by respected actors like Ian McKellen, Eileen Atkins, Rufus Sewell, Stephen Fry, and Rupert Penry-Jones!

  • Sheila Burrell (Lady Rochford of Henry 8th series) is absolutely priceless as Aunt Ada Doom. Loved this version of the story.

  • Thank you for uploading!! I have been dying to see this and unable to find it. Such a fantastic story - I love the book.

  • @globalman Kate Beckinsale is English !!

  • It,s Patsy!

  • I agree, everyone should have a plane...

    "sounds appalling" lol

    The difference between then and now.... They were living it, we're just watching it.

  • Brilliant British cast and looks jolly good fun. All for king and country! Kate always trying to be English, never quite pulls it off, never mind.

  • I love Kate's accent. So posh.

  • @Lee7559 Or if you were a woman who wanted to pursue a serious career. Or black (in Europe and the US obviously). Or gay. Or transsexual.

    Cold Comfort Farm is set in "the near future" btw, so it's technically some sort of alternate reality without the world war war.

  • The Russian girl wants to know what did that old woman see in the woodshed too!!!!

  • I dont mean to sound a snob but this is what life is suposed to be like, I always thought I was born too late, I know there was a war just around the corner but life looked much more enjoyable and upper class.

    On the flip side it would of sucked big style if you were one of the many seriously poor of that time.
