Question of the week: The awards heaped on The King's Speech this weekend makes me wonder, could you suggest a favourite London-ish historical drama?” "Can it be historical comedy?
If so, let's cross reference London with the holdings of Blackadder DVDs in the library!
Whilst it is does not reference many specific London sights in its four season passage through more than five centuries of English and Scottish History, the historical comedy Blackadder is based in and around London for much of its setting. It is well-written, educated wit that will also 'contextualise' the rise to prominence of a man you now know as one Gregory House of Princeton, New Jersey...
The series is available from the library, with DVD players obtainable from the Rectors."- Ric
