If you liked Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette or BBC/HBO's Gentleman Jack...

8/10

"...then this may well be up your alley (I should say I think it's far better than Coppola's M-A) . Both the 'purists' and the parvenus (and staunch fans of assorted Mitfords) will and have turned their noses up - I guess all reviews are opinions and nothing more so....good for them. Personally I was a fan, I think a traditionally safe version would have been great but this is good fun and seems to have its tongue firmly in its cheek...."

💡 Did You Know?

Mortimer's version and Andrew's Scott interpretation of Lord Merlin is reminiscent of the Edwardian dandy Henry Cyril Paget, 5th Marquess of Anglesey. The 5th Marquess of Anglesey also lived the rockstar life, was very much an aesthete, and even dyed his poodles different colors. He died in Monte Carlo at the age of 29 of consumption.
