Teddies, tiaras and TV dinners
-
THE nation's favourite costume drama is back - and viewers can't get enough of all that Regency-era romance.
Bridgerton has been a massive hit for Netflix since it launched in 2020. But TV has always been awash with sumptuous period dramas. So look out your breeches and three-cornered hat, here are 10 other shows for stylish evenings in.
BRIDESHEAD REVISITED
The '81 adaptation of the Evelyn Waugh novel helped make stars of Jeremy Irons and a teddy bear called Aloysius. A broke student in the 20s befriends a young lord. TV dinner: Braised pigeon and countless wines from the cellar.
OUTLANDER
Wartime nurse Catriona Balfe, while on holiday in Scotland, finds herself transported back to 1743 and falling for handsome Jacobite Sam Heughan. It's got kilts, glens, bens and romance and it's a massive TV hit. TV dinner: Cock-a-leekie soup and bannocks.
