Lovely, layered tale

Like other Catherine Cookson's stories, "The Girl" focuses on a young woman who must overcome emotional and physical obstacles to finally come into the life she deserves. This tale is no different. The performances are excellent, and the costuming and locations equally well done.

A lovely, powerful story.

Catherine Cookson TV movies

I love all Catherine Cookson movies and would appreciate them being shown the movies on dvd wont play in USA we can't afford a 500:00 dollar vcr to play the region code these are made in . I'm trying to let my granddaughter see all her movies she's read the books YouTube use to have them to watch now they aren't playing at all. Please consider a showing of these fantastic programs Catherine Cookson fans are still out there an I can't afford 400:00 dollars for dvds that won't play in this region code

Too much badness.

I guess the Catherine Cookson model for historical dramas just do not float my boat. This was somewhat entertaining, but I just don't like all of the sorrow, suffering, and angst in my dramas. Her stories are just dark all the way through. Even when people are happy, there is some fly in the ointment. I do not mind some darkness in my dramas: I loved Little Dorrit, and Middlemarch for example. I love Elizabeth Gaskell stories. Loved Downton Abbey. These are just humorless. And boy there is a ton of them. I think I have seen enough to know I don't want to suffer through anymore of these to find the ones that I do like. I did like The Rag Nymph, and the Glass Virgin back in the day. Not sure why, but they were different in some way while still being the same basic plot. I suspect it was the actors and the characters they played.

Catherine Cookson Is fabulous

The Girl is one of my favorites but I would gladly watch all of her movies my grandmother introduced me to the Mallen books in 1970 I read all I could then I found them on utube I watched An now we are no longer able to see these great movies.In America we are in a different region code An can't buy them to watch with out purchasing a new DVD player that's expensive to do. So please play her movies we will all be happy if u do ,we love all these the girl is excellent!

A Bit different this time!

I say that because in this particularly well acted Cookson Dramatisation, pretty much everyone is a "church attender" - yet not one of them has an "Christian" decency. Matthew Thornton (the top dog of the area) sleeps with other women as his Missus doesnt allow him into her bed, given that the house is hers as is most of the money. Then theres the nasty mother of the butcher-greed personified! The plot revolves around a young girl who is left at the Thornton household on the basis that she is "his" child (watch to find out more). Ultimately, she is no saint either. You will need to watch to draw your own conclusions. The storyline bothered me as not all church goers are as portrayed here. The scenery is brilliant and the acting pretty good too, but in this case Im not convinced the ending was the right one!
