After just one viewing, you'll understand why Country Matters is a BAFTA® winner for Best Drama Series. The bucolic post-World War I English countryside offers a resplendent backdrop for these adaptations of short stories by A.E. Coppard and H.E. Bates. Stunning locations and cinematography along with a star-studded cast dominate eight intriguing dramas, including such powerful tales as Craven Arms, The Mill, The Sullen Sisters, The Watercress Girl, The Little Farm, The Black Dog, The Higgler and The Ring of Truth. With top-flight performances by Sir Ian McKellan (The Lord of the Rings), Peter Firth (Pearl Habor), Pauline Collins (Shirley Valentine) and Prunella Scales (Fawlty Towers) The New York Times has called these Masterpiece Theatre productions "magnificent...incredibly effective."
