Period Dramas

I'm so glad I saw the recommendation of the new series (to me) of Upstairs Downstairs on this thread.

Me too, I will seek it out, I hope it’s better than The Forsytes on Channel 5.

It definitely is Jane43. It's a high quality BBC production with a distinguished cast.

Season 2 of The Hardacres starts at 9pm on Thurs 14th May Channel 5. I thought the first one was okay and I'm happy to watch a second.

I watched three episodes over the weekend and yes it is very good, not a remake of the original Upstairs Downstairs as I thought but later in time and very interesting content about the death of Edward VIIth then the abdication and also the rise of Oswald Mosley. Lovely to see Jean Marsh return as Rose Buck, I am looking forward to Series 2, I wouldn’t have known about it but for this thread.

Neither would I Jane43. I'm on series 2 and it's just as good.

The Count of Monte Cristo. I suppose it’s a period drama. iplayer now.

It seemed to slip under the radar when it was screened, which is odd, as it has a high profile cast and I think it was very good. I was disappointed that there were so few episodes. The original series had hundreds of them. I enjoyed it as a child, but when I've caught an odd episode now I realise it is very dated. The newer one was much better I think. I'm pleased so many people liked it.
