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!
