On Channel 4.

It's bit great, isn't it?

Gloriously, OTT, and treating history a bit like George McDonald Fraser - don't mess with the facts, but play with the fun of it all!

Highly recommended.

Or Bridgerton on Netflix for endless regency shagging, panto dames and fist fighting. Seems factual to me.

Do fancy a look at The Great, though.

It would have been better if it was half as long, but it's brutally funny.

^^ Brutally funny, sounds like just the sort of humour I like. Definitely going to catch up on this.

hmmmm, I think they are using a v loose interpretation of “facts” but it’s quite good fun nevertheless.

Bridgerton is what I imagine e 12year old girl thinks the Regency was like

The closest thing I can think of to it is The Death of Stalin.

Which is on BBC iPlayer at the moment. I watched it over the weekend coincidentally and came to the same conclusion. Definitely one I'm going to follow.

Flicking through BBC site a few weeks back and saw this item:

I'm a Laydee!

A glimpse out of the corner of my eye thought it was advertising a new Little Britain.
