Downton Abbey

I love the costumes on Downton Abbey.
Always so elegant.
Behind the scenes
Lady Edith's dress and Lady Mary's Red coat and hat combo particularly.
Wish it would come back into fashion.

This is the nearest I get to the Downton Abbey Era dresses...

Horrible Histories

I have a confession to make...despite being an adult I love the Horrible Histories series. As a kid I always loved the books...but put off watching the TV series as I thought it might be childish and patronizing (kids TV in the 90's was soo much better) but having seen the 'remixed' version on BBC1 I was hooked. Its not only informative but funny and not patronizing at all. And as a fan of classic comedies I do find myself spotting nods to shows like monty python. I've got series 1 & 2 on DVD and waiting for series 3 to be released hope they do a series 4.
Some of my fave sketches are those from Regency and the Roman ones.

I also love the pastiche/parody songs that earworm you...The Kings & Queens song came in handy when watching some documentaries lately and me thinking so who came after George 4th?

But my fave pistache of a song has to be the Dick Turpin Highwayman one.

More please....
