Synopsis by Tracie Cooper
Produced for Granada Television and first shown in the U.S. on Masterpiece Theatre, Far From the Madding Crowd is based on author Thomas Hardy's novel of the same name. Dorset, England is the setting for what becomes a passionate love quadrangle centred around the beautiful but tempermental Bathsheba (Paloma Baeza), who manages to ensnare three men: dependable Gabriel Oak (Nathaniel Parker), shy Mr. Boldwood (Nigel Terry), and Frank Troy ( Jonathan Firth), a soldier-cum-Lothario who sweeps her off her feet before quickly realizing their relationship cannot survive.
