In today’s episode we venture into a dearly beloved topic for us both: the British costume drama. We love em — if BBC has made it, we’ve watched it. We may get a little carried away and talk about it for about an hour, but we leave no stone-with-an-accent unturned and we hope this will give you great watching for all those late night nursing sessions, sick days, nights up late with sick babies, or laundry folding marathons. If we’ve missed any we’re dying to know of more!

Oooh I’m getting off the computer to go listen and mop! Right now I’m into three episodes into The Duchess of Duke Street for my laundry folding sessions. So far it’s just okay. Maybe you’ll have a more appealing suggestion for me. 🙂
Haven’t seen any of that one! I ALWAYS mop to podcasts, too.
I love how you are differentiating the different versions. ” near perfection Emma Thompson version”. It has an amazing commentary if you turn on that track in the special features.
Yes! The commentary is so good!
You ladies are delightful! Thanks for the great podcast!
Aw, thanks, Leslie!
Nice to listen to people discuss BBC costume dramas! It’s nice to know other people are so into these! Just giving a recommendation, The paradise is way better than Mr. Selfridges. If you don’t like to loyalty to Moray in paradise, you’ll be very annoyed with Selfridge’s. Also, I recently discovered that there are two versions of the BBC Mansfield wit Billie Piper! I was at school so I didn’t have the dvd, so I watched it on youtube. There is a British version that has quite a bit more key moments. I liked it a lot better in the longer version. Would you like a youtube link?
This was seriously so great! I loved all of the commentary! I found myself wishing that I had seen all of these versions so I could really know where you both were going in your discussion.
Thanks so much for entertaining me while I work!
So glad you enjoyed it, Lane! 🙂
Loved this episode! All of them, but this one was extra fun…Been sharing about the podcast with errbody!
