Victoria ITV

Yes I am, I enjoy historical programs as long as they're an accurate representation and the writers don't try and modernise the story to appeals to a wider audience. Some of the 'crowd' scene's and backdrops of buildings etc were a bit naff but it's got a good cast so am hoping it'll be good, I'm out this evening so will record part two to watch later in the week

Hopefully, we are recording it - televisual recording device permitting - and will binge watch when it's finished. I prefer that because you don't forget what's happened from one week to the next and can avoid the ads.

I know what you mean about some of the scene's being dark. I appreciate it's set in times when the only lighting was by candles or gas and they want it to look authentic but surely there's a happy medium because the audience do need to be able to see what's happening

Not just period drama - most of The X Files was filmed in the dark with Mulder and Scully waving their flashlights about looking for aliens.
