'VICTORIA' EPIC SERIES
GETS A NEW ROYAL TEASER


VICTORIA follows the longest ruling British monarch (Jenna Coleman)
for the first three years from the time she is crowned queen in 1837 at
age 18 through to her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert (Tom
Hughes). She comes to the throne at a time of great economic turbulence
and resurgent republicanism – and died 64 years later the head of the
largest empire the world had ever seen, having revitalised the throne’s
public image and brutally colonised, robbed and enslaved half of the
planet. The first season of VICTORIA will tell the story of the first
years of the reign, beginning with the moment of the Queen's accession
in 1837, following her first faltering steps from capricious, hormonal
teenager with a weak grasp on her duties and responsibilities to her
marriage to Albert. The show is a saga of interlocking circles – the
circuits of power in Buckingham Palace and Westminster, the
intermarrying royal houses of Europe and the scandals of the
below-stairs palace staff. At the centre stands the new Queen – a
spirited, passionate woman who must, somehow, become an enduring icon of
strength and ruthless imperialism. Rufus Sewell plays Lord Melbourne,
her right hand and friend.

DeleteGlad to see the second season of Poldark is coming out soon. We dropped HULU and picked up Amazon and I believe they are to carry it. Something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, it will air on PBS just a few weeks after UK, maybe you can watch it on Sundays at your mother in law? :) If she has cable....
DeleteYes, she has cable, but this is not her kind of thing to watch. I can wait for it to come to Amazon.
DeleteOh, noes, and older lady that does not like PBS!!! :)
DeleteHow are your sisters, dear?
I'm with Anne. I'll eventually catch Poldark on Amazon. Hulu never was my cuppa tea and we get free Amazon video with our Prime subscription, so Hulu just isn't worth it for us.
ReplyDeleteisn't Hulu over anyhows? I heard something of it closing? Or being sold to Yahoo or something
DeleteI am not sure, but I've been out of the loop the past few weeks. It's still accessible through my Tivo, so it's still going as of right now.
DeleteHopefully when she's old, she won't be drastically fat and ugly like the actual Victoria
ReplyDeletethat would be in later seasons if the series survives that long :) She was always ugly if you ask me, you can't enslave half a world and not be ugly :)
DeleteLook at all those new series! So much to see, so little time..my problem indeed.
