SEE JAMES PUREFOY, TOBY REGBO, ANNA CHANCELLOR, JAMIE BLACKLEY, CALAM LYNCH, JOSHUA SASSE IN BRITBOX PERIOD SET SERIES OUTRAGEOUS

  OUTRAGEOUS TV DRAMA  
FIRST MITFORD SISTERS SERIES IMAGES
Although their life has been already adapted a couple of times by BBC, famous Mitford sisters are getting a new period set series at UKTV's channel Drama and Britbox in USA and today we have the first images coming from Vanity Fair. The six part series OUTRAGEOUS will depict the British socialite sisters, whose antics in the 1930s made their family one of the most well known in the UK. Several infamously supported fascism and the Nazis, though two became staunch opponents of the ideology. Two became well known authors. It will be a story of family betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, personal heartache and even imprisonment. 
 
  THIS BRAND NEW SERIES WILL FOLLOW
the six upper-class Mitford sisters — Nancy (Bessie Carter), Diana (Joanna Vanderham), Unity (Shannon Watson), Jessica (Zoe Brough), Deborah(Orla Hill), Pamela (Isobel Jesper Jones) — who were the Kardashians of the 1930s, when they both dazzled and scandalized English society. Nancy was a writer who wrote novels including “The Pursuit of Love” while Diana and Unity were fascists who were close to Hitler. Jessica was a communist, Pamela lived out the latter half of her life with a woman and Deborah became a duchess after marriage. Toby Regbo will play their brother Tom while Anna Chancellor and James Purefoy will be their mother and father. Joshua Sasse will star in the six part series as Oswald Mosley, Jamie Blackley as Peter Rodd, James Musgrave as Hamish Erskine, Calam Lynch as Bryan Guinness and Will Attenborough as Joss.

  1. Could be interesting - the Mitfords were somewhat larger than life. James Purefoy is usually a decent actor though I wasn't struck on that Camelot show from about 13 years ago though he was killed off early in that. I called it Hammyrot.

    1. It was one of the worst shows ever, I think I gave up after the second episode or something like that.

  2. I have never heard of this show...but if they were the Kardashians of the 1930s, then definitely not for me.

  3. I just hope they don't show it just in BritBox, not reason enough to subscribe.

    1. Where else can it be, it is BritBox in USA, and UKTV in Britain.

  4. The family dynamics are all over the place with them it seems. So odd how each sister can go on such amazingly different paths from each other. I bet that made the holidays a real headache when they all got together.

    1. Yes, imagine a fascist and a communist in the same house.
