On the political infighting, the drama is also less than accurate.

I'm not. It's a poor remake of Downton Abbey (minus the magnificent Maggie) with an ugly splash of Charles Dickens.

No more for me.

I'm watching One Of Us (BBC). I'm intrigued by the plot; after two episodes I'm still not sure where it is going. It stars Juliet Stevenson, who is one of my favourite actors.

For the history try Philip Ziegler's biography of Melbourne, and Elizabeth Longford's of Victoria.

You have failed, however to address the Rufus Sewell issue. Is he or isn't he still eye catching?

Two episodes up right now. Worth a watch. Also for Rufus Sewell who is still quite yummy. Much nicer than Poldark

Nicer than Poldark?! Impossible!!
