"The Great Fire of London." Topic

"Speaking of history, we do love large scaled ambitious historical dramas, and here's a new one coming up to the small screens: British ITV has commissioned a brand new four part 17th century set series GREAT FIRE OF LONDON in which the story will follow historical and fictional characters at the time of the 1666 catastrophe that
destroyed much of the fledgling city. The immense scale of the series will follow everyone from the humble baker Thomas Farriner and his family to the ambitious Samuel Pepys and King Charles II, and the characters' stories will interweave as the city, and their lives, are changed beyond imagining during one of the nation's greatest historical disasters. The drama will follow the four consecutive days in September 1666 when the Great Fire took hold. The fire consumes homes and lives as loyalties and friendships are tested and passions come to the fore. As the greatest city of the 17th century is destroyed, the fire is a catalyst to acts of forbidden love, deceit and despair! Ultimately, London is changed forever, paving the way for the dawn of a new era, in which modern London will rise from the ashes."

Probably as the rest of TV is utter rubbish…

Hope some day they show it on PBS in the U.S. I'd love to see it.

Not if they think London in 1666 was "fledgling"
