Can anyone please recommend some Sunday period dramas? Last week I watched Pride and Prejudice the 90s version and The Calomine Lawn I really enjoyed them both.

Thanks very much Alexa. I have seen Downton Abbey and loved that. I haven't seen any of the others will pop them on my list to watch. I have watched the Dutchess before and really liked it although it was heartbreaking.

The Devil's Whore is on All4 - English Civil War, great cast.

Also on there is a Dance to the Music of Time, which is more recent history, 20s to 60s.

Is anyone else Grin at the Calomine Lawn, or is it just me? The chicken pox version. Grin

Anyway, Room with a View is fantastic.

I was a bit Confused at that but have no idea what the OP is referring to!
