That frozen alcohol punch sure makes a drunk Mrs. Bennet make a lot more sense now.
You spelled Bennett wrong it has two t’s not one

The only reason why I know this is because my last name is Bennett

This is one of the best programs I've ever seen. All of the different elements coming together don't begin to include the number of ordinary people who worked to make this happen. Huntsmen, coachmen, candlemakers maids, dairymen, maybe even smugglers of the liquors. And people making, selling, transporting the champagne,even the people who worked in the fields to harvest to hay to feed the horses. Nothing in society was disconnected from others. And women especially had to make no mistakes that could ruin their or their families social standing. That's why Mr Darcy's rescue of Lydia,by making Wickham marry her, was so outstanding to Lizzie. I'm thinking we should all reread the book
That's why show people have to have audiences to see them in action. These people were the show business of their day.

My first Jane Austen novel was Emma, assigned in my freshman year of college. I loathed it, thought it was awful..It took me years to return to Jane Austen.
This BBC depiction of what the ball in Pride and Prejudice made me recall what a dreadful English teacher I had that year.
Like Irish Saga tales, one, especially when young, must be prepared historically prior to reading Jane Austen.
I wish there were more "experimental archeology" shows like this!
I think this group also did a reenactment of victoria's wedding right? I enjoyed that one as well..
They did one for Richard III which was quite good
👍
Go to Haworth, Yorkshire, there's a museum there the birth place of the Austen family, you can see the dresses,, shoes books etc, well worth a visit, they were very small girls, their shoes, so tiny, such a lot to see, we didn't get to see the school they went Toor the church their father pastored, best to spend a couple of days there, to see everything, Amen!

My prom dress in 1967. Had an empire waist and puffed sleeves. In a pale mint green. Made by my mom.
It was my favorite.
I also had my mom make me a regency-style dress for a school formal, but we took it to the next level by having my boyfriend's mom make him a regency-style suit to match!

At the beginning of the ball, when they were talking about the guests changing into their slippers and carrying them in a bag, I couldn’t help but wonder if this offers a little context to the iconic moment in Cinderella, where she leaves her slipper on the stair. The notion of losing your shoe on the way out of a party suddenly sounds less ridiculous and a lot more plausible. I’m willing to bet slippers were dropped all the time by guests leaving balls. I love how revealing the unexpected layers in experiments of this type sheds light onto other things.
Oh wow! I think you’re right about that 😳
Smart!!!!
i thought exactly the same thing!!! i had a huge lightbulb moment and audibly said ohhhhh! lol
Good point! I know it's a different country and time but there's a mention of Meg changing her slippers at the end of the party in Little Women (when she turns her ankle). Dancing slippers weren't very suitable for going outside, from what I've seen of them.
@@denisehill7769 Yesss you are right, I didn't even make that connection
I'm American. Only the British could do such a superb documentary of this Jane Austin world. The actors and actresses and commentators are wonderful. It is so much more interesting than a history book. It's the knowing the actual living of it. From the food to the carriages to the shoes. It's really wonderful.
* Austen, not Austin
@@anneonimous9306 OK. But it is pronounced Austin. Spelt Austen. That's correct.
Mrs D in Yorkshire UK
SO TRUE Brenda. VERY English and it helps me to understand the Royals better. Obviously America's little black girl-- as she refers to herself-- should have read that book and seen this show and better understood that this is how it's done before she said: I DO.
Jane austens world was a fiction, feminist porn.
Jane austen basically recreated fairytales for readers of her time , it was escapism.
Neither did the prince chase after Cinderella, nor did Mr D'Arcy chase after Elizabeth.
These tales are written for romance starved females like yourself to live through.
Jane died childless and unmarried while being financially supported by her brother , that's the reality of ppl like her ( early feminists)
Thanks. We're awesome. Signed: The Brits.
This was made for the BBC and shown back in 2013 for the 200th anniversary of the publication of Pride and Prejudice.
thank you!
This is one of the most romantic, fascinating, and compelling reenactments I've ever watched. Everyone, from the Chef to the Choreographer, know their Austen by heart. Also, Sally Pointer's book, The Artifice of Beauty: A History and Practical Guide to Perfume and Cosmetics, is one of my scriptures for traditional tech and y'all need to buy it.
Is there an ebook / pdf version? I can't find it anywhere other than Amazon for nearly $40

Sally is really nice and knowledgeable about the subject
Sally Pointer is an excellent researcher and historian.
Wonderful documentary. For me the only missing element was the etiquette of introductions, accepting an offer to dance and the obligation for the gentlemen to ensure no woman was left without a dance partner. This was a key part of Pride and Prejudice and one which wasn't covered here. But then, with such an embarrassment of riches, I can't complain!
True. When people arrived, were their names called out to everyone? This happened in the comic book 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.' 👭👫🧟♂🧟♀
Yes exactly! And that it was considered rude to dance with your friends and family before dancing with newly introduced ladies. Also it was considered very gentlemanly behaviour to ask the "wall flowers" for a dance and making sure they'd have a good time too, as you wrote no one should be left out.
What a fascinating experience. I loved this video and it brought me new insights from my favourite Austen. I'm old but back in the late 1950s and early 1960s when I was a teenager we had weekly dances at our local church halls, and at birthday parties too, and what did they end with? The Bradford barn dance, where the girls stood in an outer circle and the boys were the inside circle, and moved round from girl to girl and we all danced with each other for a few moments. So much like the Boulanger. We hadn't changed much in 150ish years. 😊
Well then your generation decided free love and acid was more fun so perhaps we’re a bit different now
@@namedrop721 well well well. Who got up your nose today? Why say something so nasty to an old woman whom you don't know?
You're also ignorant because you have your generations wrong. By the time free love and acid came along I was already married and a mother and only read about the idiots who came after us. Go and vent your spite to someone else. People like you don't impress me.
@@namedrop721 Different? Certainly not better if you get your jollies from being nasty to an old woman whom you don't know , using the anonymity of the internet.
This is such a wonderful documentary of the Regency era, so well done. As a Regency author myself, I enjoyed every detail. Thank you.
I'd like to read your book!
@@wallflower1852 Thank you for your interest, Bryan. You're very kind. My books are still awaiting publication at this time, though. ☺
@@szendrich I see then. I hope it will be available in Kindle version.
@@wallflower1852 🧡
Would you be able to contact me when you are published? I’d be very interested in your novel.
That boy who plays Bingley is so cute. I ship Alister and the green dress girl they got some chemistry alright
This is a standing ovation presentation which had me enthralled from beginning to end. Thank you so much for all the work that went into producing this. I would love to hear more from those who took part in it which impact the experience had on them. The food also looked amazing and no doubt tasted so. I concur with all the favourable comments that precede mine.
When I look at this documentary, I realise I would not want to be in the ballroom dancing. I would like to be in the kitchen and try out those recipes for myself. The dishes look amazing and seem to taste great too!
Me too. Yum yum.
I was impressed by the presentation of the food and especially the molded creations. Imagine not being able to show your teeth of a smile and laughter an absolute sign of an undesirable woman. The clothing is wonderful as is the dancing. I was surprised at the energy the dancing required considering the clothing the women wore. Thank you for the Pride and Prejudice era brought to life. Now I will read the book again, with the insight depicted of the documentary.
I remember in1960 that when girls in glasgow went to the dancing the girls carried thier dancing shoes in a Sall bag no girl would go on the dance floor with out door shoes on it was bad taste
I was impressed too about the food and the crayfish in the jelly mold was interesting and repelling at the same time. Wonder who ate that looks disgusting. I've never been to New Orleans but eating crawfish/crayfish is common fare. They like to steam them with corn and mix of gumbo and suck the juices out of the heads. Which sound nasty with the chicken head. I wonder if showing your teeth was a way to prevent people from seeing someone who had bad teeth or were missing teeth. Everything had meaning in a ball like they said the first readers would just know but leaves us with questions. I guess people didn't think of the changes that would happen in the world years later. They must have lead really reclusive lives in between the balls/parties. Letter writing the only way of communication. I'm glad I watched this! I love history!
@@paigecat9104 But at that time. for more
info + news, there were other people,
also newspapers. + magazines.
I didn't really understand why a woman wasn't supposed to laugh but having read the comment above by Ann I began to think what it really was is they didn't want to show their teeth and we know about Europeans and their teeth LOL😁
@@LadyBug1967 If you're suggesting only Europeans has bad teeth back then you're highly mistaken.. Calm down on the racism deary..
Where is the HEART button when I need it? lol My most favorite documentary yet! Loved these books! This was a joy to watch.
I remember hearing about my great-grandparents & grandparents going to dances & they had special shoes for dancing! Circa 1900. I love this book & the movie with Kiera Knightly & Mathew McFayden. Gorgeous & I watch it at least once a year. Loved this video, so interesting. I realize I missed a lot in the book! Thx for sharing.
This popped up in my 'to watch' list, just as I am reading Jane Austen's P&P for the umpteenth time. I watched show months ago and learned even more this time. Thank you to the folks who did this show and put in the work to make this happen. I've seen other shows with Ivan Day, whose astounding knowledge of food and its history never ceases to teach me something. Great program.
"savage on the dancefloor"
I think I never laughed harder ^^
Excellent! Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books and favorite movies. The superb attention to detail, the history, what it meant to those who participated, the food preparation, and social mores adds so much to the rereading of this superb novel. Thank you all for such a wonderful documentary.
I love Jane Austen! What a witty, humorous, and BRILLIANT author and woman of her time! She was such a catch, it’s crazy to me she never married. To me, she is a heroine and one of the most beautiful women of all time. I hope she was reincarnated and found her own Mr. Darcy in her next life.
Watching the film is both happy and sad for me. Happy because I danced at a Regency Ball in the house with lots of friends, very much in the style you see. And sad because Stuart Marston (the dancing master) was a friend and gentleman who died recently. He was a fabulous dancer and generous in his kindness and guidance. I can confirm Regency dancing is very exciting and lots of fun. Andrew
Sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Marston. R.I.P💐
Yes. I heard about his passing. RIP Mr. Marston.
So sad. So many losses in recent years.
Love watching this......quite nostalgic of beautiful customs and traditions of eras gone by
I'd love to see a recreation of the world of Vanity Fair. I've probably read it 20 times,and I always find something I understand a little bit better.
Very interesting and well-made. I'm going to have to watch Pride and Prejudice again.
And enjoy it again, for the umpteenth time. As my son will leave the room 😉
What we've gained in technology, we've lost in style. Yes, I can't imagine my life without electricity, cars, TV, phones, internet, etc. But houses were nicer back then. Clothes were nicer. Food looked nicer. I wish I could go back for a while.
In UK there are regular Regency (at least)
historical events with performers, some
public, in fashion parades, balls with
live orchestras, etc.in Bath and other
Jane Austen venues. In US at least,
there are similar, but perhaps smaller?
events. All these in both (+ etc?) countries have their websites.
Good luck! Enjoy!
Watch "Lost in Austin". This is a brilliant movie about a young contemporary woman who loves Jane Austin novels and inadvertently switches places with Elizabeth Bennett in time and place.
If one was lucky enough to be part of the relatively tiny upper class. Most Regency era people were quite poor.
@@d14551 Right! And once married (unless you were "barren"), you were very likely to have been pregnant or nursing a baby your _entire_ adult life, whether you were rich or poor. You were in serious danger of death from childbirth, and your children were very likely to die before they were five. Let's not forget that if you had the world's shittiest husband, you were stuck with him, _especially_ if you were rich.
Nicer if you were rich, or at least comfortably off. The poor and lower orders, housing was poor and clothing was inadequate.
As for the shoe changing, well I live in Canada, in winter months, we still do it lol
I remember American friends asking what in the world the drawstring bags were for.
Exquisite detail, fascinating facts. A typically excellent, well done British documentary.
Nice comment how are you doing Donna 👋👋👋👋
@@markanderson0022 Thank you! Doing well. Will be even better when warmer weather arrives 🌞
@@donnabaardsen5372 that nice to know, So where are you from ???
Please, please, give us more videos like this! It was fantastic!!
Oh, this was superb. The way the idea of Mr Bingley's ball came to live! It made me feel giddy and I do so love the candlelight.
Mr Bingley is probably black irl
So wonderful! It is important to point out that P&P was first written in 1797. So there would be some minor differences, but just wonderful to see this detail for readers in 1813. I'm in awe!
I'm left in amazement at this reenactment, so glad I found this! Well done all of you who made this happen!
Now where can I find a regency ball? ;)
If you are in England there are quite a few re enactment balls around
What an astonishing endeavor, & so enjoyable to watch! Everything was so well & authentically done! I do believe, however, that not all dances were as energetic as the ones chosen here---there would have been more sedate dances in between to let the young people catch their breath & cool off. A most delightful hour-&-a-half, would love to see more of these.
The kitchen preparations are absolutely fantastic
This is my second time watching this 3-part series. I enjoyed it so much. What a wonderful opportunity to explore the subtle social nuances of Austen's Regency period!
What were the other two, if you remember?
I loved the content of this video. I have watched Pride & Prejudice, with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, five times I think, and I'm ready to watch again. For me that's the most beautiful version. ❤
How marvelous! A well-rounded documentary that keeps you spellbound in the past.
Absolutely delightful recreation of Jane Austen’s time. I do appreciate everyone’s efforts of even the smallest details. Than you all!
Way better show than any so called 'reality' ones. Wow, all these iced dishes with no fridge, they sure were bold. lol
Such a delightful and informative video. I truly found a deeper appreciation of The Regency period of English history.
I’ve read Amanda Vickery’s books so it’s wonderful to see her here. I’d love to have her as a prof. She’s wonderful to learn from!
What a wonderful documentary this was! Books, movies, and documentaries have always been a favorite of mine, but this is, by far, the best I have seen! I’m going to download the book again, and read it from a completely different vantage point. Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of experimental archeology. I was held captive from the start🤩!
This whole presentation was utterly sublime. I think it would also be the perfect thing to watch during the Christmas season! 🎀So festive and wintry.
I really enjoyed this. Thoroughly researched and beautifully presented. ☮️
Thank you for the opportunity to have an insight into Jane Austin's world so many years ago! 🌹
This gives me the itch to take dancing lessons and search for balls !!! 😅😂😂
Stuart was a great teacher, he taught me my entire primary school. he also taught us music and religious studies but mainly dance
Go for it! It really is as fun as it looks.
In UK, US, etc. countries there are
historical dance classes and balls;
in UK in Bath and other Jane Austen
venues there are regular events by
performers and public. There are many
videos of UK other European, South American, US. etc countries during Regency, Victorian. ragtime, swing, etc
eras events---quite amazing---more time
travel like this video !!!
OMG! To jump so much after eating so much! No, I don't think Le Boulanger was danced after dinner, at least not right away ... :D lol Beautiful show, very interesting! The formalities of dinners we watch on the movies versus the spontaneous and informal exchange of dishes passed around, the tight quarters, the proximity of people, the low lighting ... it was exciting to watch!
Gosh these modern dancers must be quite unfit compared with society in 1810. But then again people walked a great deal in those days, went to balls regularly, rode horseback and were slimmer. They were quite used to dancing like this for half an hour at a time. Well produced documentary that transported me 200 years into the past.
Beautiful comment..... hello Sandra how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
None of them have clearly done a strip the willow before i see :')
@@ReaB01 ah, Strip The Willow! LOL!
This was thoroughly enjoyable from all the preparations right up to the ball thank you very much for sharing XX
Hello Pamela how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋👋
I love this experiment!! Its so majical and fairytale-like. You can see the awe on the face of the little girl in the back at 1:01:30. I wish they could do something like this again!
37:00 when he gets to see and touch history.... the excitement he shows when seeing the doodle on the sheet music was so wonderful and authentic it made it one of my favorite moments of the show. Besides when they danced at the ball, and the clothing worn, oh and the food that they prepared the time and effort gone into everything was brilliant. Heck I loved the whole show what am I talking about.. LOL
Beautiful representation of the intricacies of Regency shown here. As an absolute devotee of Regency times, as a young woman, not only did I read Jane Austen, but was a huge fan of Georgette Heyer. If you look at her history (early 20th century) I believe she must have taken a lot of her tales from her own fascination with Jane Austen. Her books are also very much a picture of Regency society.....albeit from a higher society level. Her books need to be brought back.
I absolutely love this! Soo informative and interesting. As for flirtatious, yes, but also this is a form of exercise, which releases endorphins, bringing feelings of happiness, a bit giddy and lots of smiles! Such work went into everything being authentic, food , clothes, music, dance. Well done to all the teachers and coaches! 👍💖🤗👍❤️😁. I read the book in highschool and loved it, now I plan on heading to the library to read it again!
Me too!!
This program was absolutely fantastic! 🎉❤ My congratulations to the producers and all collaborators! I was fascinated by it and will definitely be rereading my Austen collection with this new injection of information.
These documentaries are fantastic! I really liked the Christmas dinner one as well. It really gives you a window into these times that you just can't get from simply hearing about it and seeing the art. All of the presenters are really lovely and funny too! Looking forward to watching more of them!
I love that it starts by saying Austen wrote P&P when she was 20, but the reenactor looks mid 50s.
Fantastic documentary! You did a great job. I fantasised it exactly like that when reading the book. Beautyful
I am an American who loves Jane Austen.This was absolutely wonderful.
Pride and Prejudice was my first Jane Austen book and I had to read it in HS. I remember being unsure about it when I had seen it before. However, I ended up loving it and reading her other novels. I was excited to actually purchase two Jane Austen books, Northanger Abbey and Sense and Sensibility in an actual London bookstore, so it had all the original English spellings, which made me love them even more. Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice are my two favorite novels. I think I have read all of them, but not 100 percent sure. I know I didn't like Emma as much, but I just find her character a bit annoying. But, I did my college thesis on Jane Austen, so obviously a HS assignment made me lifetime lover of Jane Austen, lol. She was brilliant and quite ahead of her time. Loved this documentary-these are my favorite types and the Brits do them best.
This was an educational, entertaining, and beautiful video!! Thanks to all who contributed to its creation--BRAVO!!
No wonder we love Jane Austen so much, she was brilliant!!
Wonderful documentary. The quality and effort to make this happen is amazing. Loved it
Really loved this! Great experts and presenters. Lovely bunch of folks who are highly engaging and informed while not upstaging the excellent content.
What a quality program. Fantastic; wish this was the standard of viewing rather than what is offered on my channels now. Many thanks to you all.
This is why your name meant so much. These houses weren’t just that, they were like businesses-Clubs, resorts. It was a big deal to follow rules, roles and values. Very cool historical dive into the time and story.
In one of her shows, Dr Lucy Worsley points out that the men's breeches were skin tight and that men were as happy to show off their bulges as women were to show off their ample bosoms. I wonder if this were true!
Great history video.
Not sure, but in Colonial America, men wore tight pants to show off their calf muscles. They would hyper extend their knees while bowing to attract a lady's attention.
@@richelleg225 Even today non ethnic colonizers in America wear tight jeans. Some wear them over the buttocks to attract women..
*Just WoW* This really brought the book to life! I could see each character in each dancer and even those that didn't dance were perfectly suited to their roles.
The lovely blond greeting guests at the door was obviously one of Mr. Bingley's sisters but I thought she was more suited to be Jane Bennet. A sweet face and a lovely countenance. Definitely Jane. Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite books and the A&E production one of the best tellings. Colin Firth is forever my Mr. Darcy.
History come alive .
Wonderfully presented , thank you ❤️😊👍
This is an absolutely wonderful program!!! I want more like this, please!
Thank you so much for posting this movie. I'm a big fan of Jane Austen, I love her writing. I love the language she uses. Thank you. Love the details.
This is VERY interesting because once you do a deep dive like this into the period, things really start to make sense. 😮
Is this Amanda Vickery presenting?
This was SO MUCH FUN to watch. Thank you all!! (and can we get an update on the matchmaking that occurd that night?)
Haha totally.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS, the people whom got to be involved in recreating this were so fortunate and looked like it's something they will talk about and remember forever. Maybe even changed their opinions or outlook on their heritage.
Beautiful- I absolutely loved this episode! As a devoted Jane Austen reader, the experiment provided important context to the text.
One of the best historical programs I have ever watched! Makes me want to re-read the book.
Excellent insight into a period of time which has held an endless fascination for me.
A slight disagreement, if I may: the Bennets were not rural nobodies; Mr. Bennet made 2000 a year, which, while not immensely wealthy, was comfortable. They were landowners, a demographic to which very few people of the time actually belonged; even Lady Catherine admits grudgingly that Elizabeth and Darcy in that respect, at least, are of the same class. Thus, ironically, Elizabeth was more eligible socially that Miss Bingley, who, along with her brother, were the children of a wealthy merchant--a connection they distanced themselves from. The OTHER irony in the foursome is that Darcy's best friend was Miss Bingley's brother, also from the merchant North, and not, technically, from the gentry, though he is trying to get there by buying a large estate. So Austen's readers would have known that Elizabeth was actually an acceptable wifely candidate, despite her lack of dowry, and Darcy was not as snobbish as he seemed, since his intimate friend was from outside his own class. (Which also illustrates the blending of long established social distinctions during the Regency.)
Exactly, because this is how strapped-for-cash Gentry and a lot of Noble families stayed in the game--by marrying people who were part of the rich merchant class to put money in their family coffers. This was an exchange of cash for class and connections--entree into the nobility or the ton for the merchants in exchange for their money.
The dancer commenting how he could feel it in his calves and wondered how people used to do this. I remember how much walking there is in the novel. Of course, rich people had carriages, but still, I wonder if, all in all, people did a lot more "walking" than today. And by walking I don't only mean going to and fro places, going on walks, but also being busy at home, standing.🤔
Wonderful! It really brings into scope how crazy the London season was! I don’t think I could take the excess!
Great show! I love period reenactment that explains the reasons why people do what they do.
This is so wonderfully indepth, thank you.
An absolute delight to watch! Thank you🙏🏻💕
Ngl I wasn't expecting much at first but this program was actually truly enlightening and fascinating! Didn't expect to feel differently watching the whole process and see them bring it to life but it felt so much more realistic than what is typically portrayed in films and shows. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this~ And a very fitting way to celebrate 200 years of Pride and Prejudice.
Thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse of Regency life. Thank you
Incredibly well done. Wish I could have been apart of the reinactment.
Well worth watching adding another dimension to Jane Austens Pride ant the Prejudice 😊👍❤️
I think this would make an amazing dating shoe. Experimental Archeology dating. I would be curious how the social rules would effect modern people. If we suddenly weren't allowed to touch, a hand hold would mean so much more. I could see this being relatable with the modern day contexts of the disease who must not be named limiting our social contact.
There is a show like that called regency house party, it's on UA-cam:)
I was thinking it would be funny to have a dating show where all the contestants think they're going on love island but they're actually going back 200 years to regency England to find a partner, and the person that adapts to the time period best and finds a partner wins the show;)
@@evacope1718 That made me laugh, that's a great idea.
Excelente reportaje. Espléndida reconstrucción de la época. Una idea maravillosa. Adoro Pride and Prejudice
This is beyond brilliant! I learned so much that I'm certain will enhance my experience whenever I read books or watch shows from this period. :)
I had to come back and watch this brilliant production for the third time! I really have enjoyed learning about every aspect of this slice of Regency society!
I was listening to this, and the lady who was in charge of wardrobe/costumes sounds exactly like my mother, it is just lovely. A very well done documentary. Keep them coming.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video and how much research and preparation went into it.!
@43:02 the guys doing the frog leg dance! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this so much!!! please have more videos such as this in relation to Austin's books :)
Really fascinating. Great research. Bravo
This is a wonderful documentary with a lots of fun with family and friends in commonwealth thanks to share the view to me have a great day🤩👍👍
Great video. Thanks so much for putting this together.
This was incredibly well done, highly informative on many levels, and delightfully entertaining! Thank you!
There is a german fairytale, "Die zertanzten Schuhe" (The shoes that were danced to pieces). I didn't know shoes would actually be in shreds after one night of dancing.
Also The Twelve Dancing Princesses who stole away at night to dance were found out because their slippers were worn out so frequently.
There is a treat for those who admired Jennifer Ehle's performance as Elizabeth Bennet in the miniseries of Pride and Prejudice. Mrs. Ehle wanted to give some comfort to those locked down during Covid. That is why she recorded a reading of the entire novel and posted it to UA-cam. Her voice acting in the various roles is utterly delightful. And her minor fumbles with her cellphone camera are a charming giggle. Highly recommended.
omg this was incredible!!!!! I wish they could do one for a tudor banquet, roman/biblical feast, Versailles, Victorian etc!! With the same depth of behind the scenes from the decr, to the fashion, food, servants/slaves and then watching it come together! xxx
This is a fascinating bit of history of the time of Jane Austen and style and costume.
One of my favorite documentaries.
