Happened Upon a Gem!
Another Lucy Worsley gem
Once again I very much enjoyed Lucy Worsley's take on British social history. This is an informative piece of work that filled the gaps in my understanding of the Victorian era. Victoria's vivacity as a young queen was well brought out by an impishly beautiful Abbie Garland and the choices of George Merrick-Cunningham as Prince Albert and Mike Nettleship as Victoria's devoted Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne were good. The analysis by historical experts, curators and archivists set details into context in a most engaging manner. A rewarding evening of TV in two parts. Worth watching!
