I love a good old period drama and need a bit of escapism from reality. What recommendations?

Have you watched Bridgerton on Netflix? Similar ahistoric romp, very fun.

Otherwise some more classic period dramas including the BBC Pride & Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Oh I saw Lost in Austen on some platform recently, that’s a very funny take on Pride & Prejudice.

Thank you, I have seen Bridgerton and have enjoyed. I will check out the others!

North and South - it's absolute perfection.

Persuasion - the Ciaran Hinds/Amanda Root version.

And I really enjoyed The Empress recently on Netflix.

Tom Jones is good on ITV

Poldark
Victoria
Vanity Fair
Tom Jones
Harlots (not as gentile as Sanditon, but it's 18th century, funny and strong female characters)
