The Starkadders are a mad, violent lot, very rustic in a sort of doom laden Hardyesque kind of way, and Flora sets out to tidy up their very untidy lives. The book tells how she eventually succeeds in doing so, against all the odds and with many comic incidents on the way.
A dramatisation of the comic novel by Stella Gibbons published in 1932 - 4 episodes.
Stella attributed much of the success of Cold Comfort Farm to 'coming at exactly the right time.' There is some truth in this. Most of the reviews suggest that the vogue for the rural novel had run its course and that the genre was ripe for mockery.
Punch wrote: "We have suffered too long from that school of novelists whose roots run so deep into the sad soil that their thoughts have grown consequently limited to the inevitability of gloom and reproduction; but at last we are revenged by Miss STELLA GIBBONS, who has arisen to mock with devilish skill at 'a certain type of much read, earthy passionate novel~ the kind of story in which peasants have babies in cow sheds and push each other down wells '.
The Times Literary Supplement concluded: 'It is quite time that the earthy and passionate novel was parodied.'
Episode 1 - Flora's Rights:
---------------------------
Flora believes that unless life is tidy one cannot enjoy it. However life at Cold Comfort Farm promises to be anything but.
Episode 2 - Amos's Call:
------------------------
Flora discovers yet more untidiness at Cold Comfort Farm: some of it religious!
Episode 3 - Elfine's Rights:
----------------------------
Can 'Robert Poste's child' transform Elfine into the Belle of the Ball? And is there still something nasty in the woodshed?
Episode 4 - Flora's Rights Again:
---------------------------------
Elfine's wedding day approaches, and only Aunt Ada Doom is stopping Flora from finally tidying up the Starkadders.
