They never bettered Oswin Oswald for me. Such early promise, all ruined. A great shame.

Not sure they made much effort to make Jenna look like the 19 year old Victoria other than give her contact lenses to make her brown eyes look blue.
But it does seem like quite a bit of dramatic licence has been taken with Victoria's story. Today's Scottish Sunday Post has a 2-page article on the historical accuracy of the programme comparing the "reel" with the "real" (clever) and it seems inadvisable to use the programme as the basis for an A-level essay on QV. I'm thinking writer Daisy Goodwin may have only got a D in O-level history. ![]() |

Artistic licence has been taken, but then there is no definitive history of the period. The TV series is based on the book and research of AN Wilson who's a respected writer of history
They've invented events like the melting candle wax and ignored the break ins and lost chimney boys which did happen. The trouble is you can't trust whatever happens on the screen because you don't know what's genuine and what's just been made up by the writers. |

Continuity wise it makes no sense that they never refer to it again as Clara is fragmented all over the Doctor's timeline and should be showing up to help him again and again. They could have done an episode where a bounty hunter is sent after Clara because of her reputation for altering history due to helping the Doctor when he's in need. Such lost potential. |

Anyone still watching this? Prince Albert is becoming more irritating with every scene he's in. Maybe that's my modern sensibilities speaking, but I much prefer his elder brother. David Oakes is a joy to watch!

I haven't watched today's episode yet but I'm really loving this and I'm loving Albert
![]() I thought Jenna was great throughout. I don't know how they are going to drag it out to another series though and the servants were boring and pointless right to the end. But onto the Crown next

In a way he's who she needs rather than the "easy option" of someone who's charming, but will give in to her, Albert brings his own serious perspective to things which clearly was very useful for Victoria's reign |
