Review If the BBC are looking to find a Sunday night hit that s as big as Downton Abbey, perhaps they ve found it here in this seagull-squawking tale of mining folk by the sea. The scenery is peerless, the costumes divine and the script by Debbie Horsfield sticks closely to the novels. --Jan Moir, Daily Mail
