Rating: - The Catherine Cookson Collection Set 2
The acting is superb and the sets are wonderful. You really get a feel for the time that Catherine Cookson is writing about.
Rating: - Best Historical Movies I have Seen
If you love historical romance and accurate history you can't go wrong with this set. Nobody does history like BBC and they stick close to Ms. Cookson's story line too.
Rating: - quality

Rating: - Set 2 is a great set with great films
I've seen all the movies in this set except for the man who cried, I haven't gotten to watch that one yet. I started watching Catherine Cookson films as a teenager because my grandma watched them all the time. I fell in love with them. As depressing as her films can be (it seems there is always a tragedy in her films) the ending is always good. In this set the Gambling Man is my favorite, I suggest you watch it first. I also own set 1. Set 1 has The Wingless Bird, The Fifteen Streets, The Moth, and ... Read More
Rating: - C. Cookson Collection - Set 2
I've enjoyed Catherine Cookson books and now I can doubly enjoy them on DVD's with actors I enjoy watching. The stories have a little bit of all kinds of life in them and I don't tire of them.
