"The seven part drama coming from Poldark's and Victoria's Mammoth Screen, is set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, and follows modern heroine Becky Sharp as she attempts to claw her way out of poverty and scale the heights of English Society. Her story of villainy, crime,
merriment, lovemaking, jilting, laughing, cheating, fighting and dancing, takes her all the way to the court of King George IV, via the Battle of Waterloo, breaking hearts and losing fortunes as she goes."

Original series was excellent. Bok goes without saying. |

One of my favourite books. A lot to fit in, even in a mini-series. Interesting to see how they deal with the humour. The reference to Becky Sharp as a "modern heoine" is worrying. |

Trying to portray Becky Sharp is a typical advertising ploy to make the series somehow "relevant" to folks who ordinarily would never watch it. Just like those awful "beautiful, feisty, independent" heroines of way too much historical fiction. |

Those uniforms look far too clean for troops in combat! Anyway, in case it was missed, this forthcoming drama has already been highlighted in the Napoleon vs Doc Martin topic. |

I would say, as a rivet counter, they have not done at all badly at the uniforms, in the photos above. Someone has done their research to show Household Cavalry and a reasonable "white metal" line unit….. OK, obviously a layer of mud would be right…as with our 28mm figures….but we do tend to show them in parade ground rig. Yeah, let us argue what is a drummer, I guess, in reverse colours by 1815…the youth of what must be very senior infantry occifers (Double fringed epaulettes on both) but at least the King's Colour is right of the Regt one! |
