Finished "Lillie" -- very nice for those of us with an appetite for 19th-century dramas [View all]

[Sparkly]

It's about Lillie Langtry.

It was sufficiently well-done that nothing gives away the fact that it was made in 1978. (You know how sometimes you can tell, because the hairdos look just a bit too much like the era the show was produced, or something?)

Every few episodes, I went to Wiki to look up who all the various characters were, and followed links around to see what other scandals the royals got mixed up in, who else was Oscar Wilde's lover, and of course, which prince is which (they were hard to sort out!).

I have rented "South Riding." We'll see how that one goes!
