OMG - this was just delightful, slightly scandalous and thoroughly entertaining.
Stephen Fry narrates a fun look at the secrets of the Victorian era. He pulls you into a world of hidden histories and deep dark secrets. It covers a wide range of expected and unexpected topics from:
- fashion,
- lunacy,
- sexual orientation,
- sanitation,
- pornography,
- Sherlock Holmes, and more.
So, full of topics that you would consider taboo at the time. Fry explains not only explains the context. He also includes interviews with historical experts, diary extracts and newspapers of the time. This along with well chosen music, several performers and sound effects make the tales come to life. Well worth your time.
