- Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 and for the next 64 years ruled Great Britain and her Empire with an unflagging sense of moral correctness. Today the era is remembered as an age of respectability, public virtue and private morality. Victorian Scandals looks beneath the surface of that society, a world that was not exempt from the old vices of weakness, vanity and gullibility.
This episode - "The Portland Millions" - Annie Druce (Patricia Hayes) is convinced that she is the heir to the Duke of Portland and sets about convincing the authorities with the help of a young solicitor (Nigel Havers). Broadcast 17th September 1976

Wonderful acting from many years ago. Class. Nigel looks about 18 here, but his 25. Patricia was an incredible actress. Thanks for this very entertaining.
We need to return to quality television programming again. If only.....
it would be great, but we've travelled too far down the ' Reality TV ' road, so they don't have to pay actors, screenwriters etc
@@johncarlisle6865 I gave up on tv when we started to have 9 minutes of programme and four minutes of advertising.
UA-cam is my tv....
@@voulafisentzidis8830 yes, UA-cam is also my TV now
@@voulafisentzidis8830 So's mine, with adblock.
i loved Paricias acting..whatever she was in her acting was always of the most highest calibre. God bless her
Absolutely agree - she is very well and fondly remembered in our house.
Richard Wilson's voice never changed - I expected him to stand up at the end and yell "I do not believe it!"
Grew up in Wandsworth in a block of flats above the Arndale Centre and me and my parents, from Battersea, bumped into Patricia around this time and they chatted for an hour!
Absolutely fabulous ❤️Thank you Classic British Telly!
If only TV was still as good as this
Yes. Something like this and maybe another good program on the other channels. And now hundreds of channels to click through and nothing worth watching. Consumer choice indeed!
Unfortunately it's not about quality of content anymore, it really isn't, it's about representation, and whilst that's the most important thing, unwatchable rubbish is what you're going to get. I no longer watch regular TV, I even had my aerial removed, I dip in & out of the occasional modern day show, but rarely, everything now is in the past 2010
Don't you know GOOD TV IS RACIST! God, I hate the woketards...
MAGNIFICENT!!!
PLEASE, let's have more episodes.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!
What a delight! Thank you❤
Class acting by Patricia Hayes.
The expense and effort on these sets are extraordinary
I love Patricia Hayes, such a wonderful actress.
The very finest!❤
British television at its finest. Tragically, how low we've sunk to gutter level.
Thanks for uploading this. A popular series in its day. Even Benny Hill did a parody!
My goodness, I wish more of this series was available! Very entertaining.
Am absolute delight to watch.
Patricia Hayes was a fabulous actress.
And an even better comedienne
She could sing, too.
What an absolute gem❤❤❤❤❤❤
Those were the days: 3-4 generations staring at the same screen.
Actors who later were in Coronation Street Brideshead Revisted and One foot in the grave
Very interesting. Thank you
It’s that lawyer on Upstairs and Downstairs!
Raymond Huntley. Marvellous supporting actor.
Obviously he got typecast!And Victor Meldrew too😮
Nigel Havers was also on "Upstairs Downstairs" as Peter Dinmont, one of Georgina's friends.
Fantastic. Thank you😊
Exceptionally well crafted; I particularly appreciated the accurate period costumery....
Yes! Modern "historic" films usually get the dress colours completely wrong. Nobody wore red dresses for instance, except courtesans, "fast women"or streetwalkers...
Patrica Hayes is marvellous
Patricia was a wonderful actress,and Nigel looks so young,it was excellent 👍🏻
Excellent! Great cast and great acting by all. I didn't recognize any of them but I sure enjoyed this.
More please!
I want more! Will you be uploading the entire series?
This is the third of seven episodes of the series Victorian Scandals. Will you be posting the other six? I hope so!
I have heard of portland stone😊 nigel havers was good in the charmer tv program
MAGNIFICENT scripting and acting!!! I love Patricia Hayes. I love Raymond Huntley who was brilliant as the Bellamy's lawyer in Upstairs & Downstairs, another priceless gem of British TV. And my word - isn't Nigel Havers quite the dashing young man!!!!!!!!
Have to watch again to catch up, its been so long since I've watched a decent series like this...every thing happens so quickly in shows today I've got use to it😢
Miss Robinson, the mistress, was one of the future ghosts from Nicole Kidman's 'The Others', she always had such an extraordinary voice!
Nothing much has changed, to modern times. Manipulations towards some 'boys club' mentality that they all feel is within their rite. Very memorable Actors.
Amusing story. Thank you.
I really enjoyed that, I recognised one of the lawyers voice as I know him in another great show as Victor Meldrew sorry I don’t know his real name.
Richard Wilson!
This is facinating. I'm wondering if it's based on historical fact. If not, it's a clever entertaining story.
It is based on the 5th Duke of Portland. If you look up the Druce Case you'll fine info on it. The 5th Duke was absolutely wackadoodle nuts.
@@withonelook1985 I did, it was in the description on the channel.
Thanks so much.😊
Wonderful.
Thank you very much for uploading this treasure :)
This is great fun!
On 10th July 2024, the Royal Courts of Justice in Strand is now closed to the genral public for access to justice . How is that for 21st Century progress!
Seriously? Wow. Getting ready to prosecute British legacy citizens, I suppose.
Extremely well done. Thank you.
Am hoping for he rest of them.
Richard Wilson is also wonderful.
the brilliant actor Raymond Huntley
very enjoyable.
Excellent, are there any more coming ? I was away from the UK during 1976 and would have missed this.
There were some nasty shlotzers around back in the day ☝
👍👍👍
Really enjoyed it great acting thanks ❤
Fabulous upload ! I've been looking for episodes of this series for literally decades - Would love to see the one with Twiggy - Many thanks.
Brilliant thank you🎉
This is a wonderful little drama, beautifully acted, but also with high production values. I noticed in the few shots where men`s shoes are seen they are wearing galoshes, quite rightly. I hope more of this series can be uploaded and enjoyed.
This wasn't 'high production values', this was just how things were done then, correctly, even children's shows looked like this!
More!
Good play.
Fascinating!!
Great performance by old lady.
wonderful
Did i read the Royal Court is closed for good? The royals will now be seen in regular court. But the jury of their peers will have to be dealt with tho. Right?
What an amazing story!!! Poor Annie, did she ever got out of the asylum?
From the voice I recognised the Duke of Portland's lawyer.. . Nobody else? I don't believe it! 😊
We just don´t dare - he punched a priest for this once, You know...
@@rev.buttons2482 I say it from the safe distance of the Indian subcontinent. Hehehe
❤❤❤❤❤
What an amazing cast!! Extremely enjoyably to watch! Thank you for posting!
It's Mrs Capper!
Can you upload all the episodes?
Was the brilliant Patricia Hayes a Shakespearean actress at the Old Vic??
💜
I can't follow this plot. Was the old lady totally wrong?
Sir Geoffrey
Any moy episodes of this??
Did this show air on PBS 🤔?
I couldn't understand what she was whispering to him at the end. Could anyone make it out?
Put caption on
'Skittles'?
A brilliant program ruined by the ending.
I wanted to say this is great TV and so much better than we have now but it's just as crap.
Zzzzzzzzz.
Very stupid and long
wonderful! Are there any more of this series?
Crap. No direction and a waste of the great R Wilson's talents.
Temper :Temper!
