Wealth of History

There seem to be loads of excellent historical dramas and programmes on TV at the moment. Apart from the deservedly lauded 'Little Dorrit', a new one starts this evening on C4, 'The Devil's Whore' set in Civil War England. (Or The Devil's W***e as they put it very coyly on my HDD listing). I'm also really enjoying the High Society series on C4, the last programme 'Prince John', about George V's youngest son who suffered from epilepsy and learning difficulties, was really moving. Although I was gutted that we don't get 'Sharpe' in Scotland due to the curse of regional programming. Still it is on DVD soon.
