New ITV Series "Victoria"

[Paulus 1,975]

Anyone else watching this? Tonight's episode had brief references to young Viccy arguing over the portrait of her face on early coinage, very speculative but I found it enjoyable even though massively dumbed-down, as is normally the case

I saw that episode but I missed the first one.  I thought it was interesting too, and I'm sure that you would have noticed how she had her hair braided(?) in the manner of the gothic head!

Every inch the warrior princess! Can't wait to see the Jubilee Head episode, if it gets that far.

I am now. Thanks for the heads up. Managed to retrieve the second one from ITV player and watched it - and just seen the third one "Brocket Hall" earlier on. Absolutely brilliant, even if, as you suggest, "dumbed down".

Even if only some of the narrative is true, what a formidable woman Victoria must have been.
