Sprinklez: Episode 9: Cranford (Amazon Prime); Manor House (Amazon Prime); Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bar
In this Period-Piece-Themed episode of Sprinklez, I highly recommend the incredible British series, CRANFORD (Amazon Prime, Season 1) and the marvelously ingenious mash up of a Downton Abby styled drama and a reality show: PBS's MANOR HOUSE (Amazon Prime). Then I wrap up the show with an Edwardian Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bar in the form of S'MORES!

Show Notes
Hey Gang!! This is a special themed episode of Sprinklez! It's the PERIOD PIECE show!!
This episode is a Victorian/Edwardian bonanza, starting off with my recommendation of the delightfully charming 2007 British series: CRANFORD (Amazon Prime) starring Dame Judi Dench, Julia McKenzie, Julia Sawalha, Michael Gambon, Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter and scores of other amazing actors/actresses.
Then I fill you in on PBS's 2002 amazing and enthrallingly educational series MANOR HOUSE (Amazone Prime) which is full of Downton Abby type period drama with a reality show twist. A group of regular people live in a 1906 Manor House for three months living out the roles of either a privileged family or their dutiful servants. It s an Edwardian social experiment gone awry! Fabulous, fascinating and fun.
I conclude the episode with a 117 year old Tasty-Treat-Sensation: Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bar! It is still a delectable treat when combined with graham crackers and marshmallows in the form of a s'more!!! Enjoy!
Tangent recommendation: Lark Rise to Candleford, 2008 (Amazon Prime, Hulu)
