I love this series. Laughing at the hosts saying they’re like “obsessed Victoria groupies” because same 💀

I spent two weeks in Deal early one summer with my aunt...lovely town, gorgeous sea air and a lovely time with my auntie...I miss you aunt Elsie. xo

I came upon this channel by chance and I love it! The two Presenters make it so interesting and they tell these stories so well. I'm hooked!

Lovely coppery pots ! 😁

Love these two. Forget about MSM

Great programme but I do rather feel sorry for Rosemary! As a chef, she obviously knows exactly how the food is prepared, with maybe not as much insight as Ivan with regards to the historical aspects of the food, but you can see she has to stay quiet whilst he teaches granny "to suck eggs''!! This is for our benefit. Well done to them both, and not forgetting Tim who gets to taste the benefits of all their hard work :)

Rosemary obviously understood that he was explaining the process to the audience. Blame the director if you think it's condescending. Personally, I like it better than Ivan speaking into the camera.

When Rosemary was exclaiming to the beauty of the strained broth, I was amused. I get the same way when something goes right in my slap-dash cooking attempts -- like late one night about ten days ago when I pulled a casserole dish of no-recipe vanilla-nutmeg shortbread out of my oven, and it was absolutely PERFECT.

Refreshing and interesting series!

Best show ever!!

I’ve been enjoying some history since lockdown started! It’s nice to imagine being there back then instead of where we are now

A servant life better? Hmmm... health wise maybe but no freedom. There was a story in Glasgow, a servant fell on the stairs. She tried to do her job and the doctor found her ankle was dislocated... The lady of the house had a Christmas party and the servant was made to scrub pots and pans with her ankle on a chair and after the party she was sacked because she couldn’t keep up.... 😒 better I don’t think so...

Wonderful. I thanks for sharing

I remember as a little girl that where i live the beaches were not landscaped / or had roads as they are now. It was scrub or bush. Occassionally a lawn. You can see the same in the illustration

I'm genuinely confused by the nastiness of some of these comments. Why did you watch a show about Queen Victoria if you hate her so much?

I have no hate.. Only speaking the truth, she got so big she had to be carted around in a wheelchair for years and years. She could have went on a diet and lived differently in her last years. Do you live in a cocoon where people aren't allowed to speak the truth? Peace......

@@SAnn-rf3oz firstly it isn't like she is alive to benefit from your pearls of wisdom. I don't believe in needlessly trashing the departed. Secondly she lived to be 82, so at least as healthy as your average peraon of that era, despite her over fondness for food.

Don't bother answering me with your judgemental attitude.

It is strange. At the beginning, we can see the statue of Queen Victoria and her nose had been broken off. They obviously remade the nose, since the one on the statue is light grey, instead of dark. This difference shows off that it has been broken and not restored properly. Sad. I do love the show.

@runescapefacefan

I imagine the difference in colour has to do with the interaction between the replacement material and time + weathering. Perhaps at the time the nose was replaced the difference between the two was not so apparent? Who knows? Someone other than me, somwehere.

Victorian servants may have been healthy but the factory and work house stories that come out of that era are horrendous. Doesn't seem like a good era to live but not many monarchies sound like good eras to live under. Not that much has changed, but alot has as well.

To be fair, even if you’re rich, you’re not safe either. A lot of the inventions that came out of that era were dangerous and poisonous (ex: things that were dyed green were dyed with arsenic). Heck, even the stairs for the Victorian servants were dangerous (they were often high and narrow. And servants were expected to walk up and down those stairs while carrying heavy items).

Cheeky!

Poor Tim, he hasn’t yet managed a fix of those picket fence teeth. I’m sorry, a peckish comment.

Those are simply (vegetable) carving irons. Long forgotten tools since the mandolin arrived. Most serious cooks today will have melon ball carvers, perhaps some butter carvers, and butter moulds as well. I love these fidgety things. Just imagine being served a butter rose or seashell in your personal butter dish. Moulded cookie baking trays, chocolate and marcipan moulds are brilliant for this as well ! And proper consummé needs dainty vegetables. Like blue potato and carrot flowers. Yellow nepe butterflies. Green leek hearts..... ☺

Why did they make the owner leave though. He probably didn't like that one little bit.

After watching most of the episodes I can definitely conclude that British food is plain and boring and the arrival of peoples from the empire has been a positive step in enhancing the British dinner table!!!!

Why are people being so political in the comments? This is just an interesting history show, not about the class divide during her reign or about how she should've changed her lifestyle to be healthier lmao

One does unfortunately have to agree, that perhaps inadvertently what come across is the fact that as the years Moved on--Victoria, from a young Princess to an Old Queen--becomes more and more Priggish, Snobbish and 'cantankerous---as IF she is the center of everything. Imagine--telling the Doctor he could attend to his Wife delivery---ONLY, if he names the child after her. Today, such Royal Hubris would be leveled off with a 'Snog Off'--much like the British public gave Elizabeth II over her response and initial handling of Diana's Death. Rather....

I've wanted to like Victoria but I have to agree, she was full of herself and unaware of the real world, but what can we expect with her being raised in a royal bubble. We really should have pitty for her because her life was never her own. She was consumed with royal duty and position always.

That's sadly what happens when people learn from a young age that the world does revolve around them. Still happens today to children who get taught that by their parents.

The piles of rocks and heaps of recipes are terrific - or is that FABULOUS!? Going to let some of my radishes grow their pods this year. Through this series as Victoria ages she sounds as if she's becoming more and more of a bratty snob that needed her ears boxed a time or two. Glad to have never met her for she would be the one to bend her knee to me unless she could lay claim to being a professional that routinely saved lives. If not, tough cookies for etiquette, and she'd be summarily, and gladly, dismissed.

@anna verano I dont know wasn't Marie Antoinette beheaded before Victoria's reign? opinion of the royal position was changing , Victoria survived like 7 or 9 assasination attempts I think.

Sadly this is still a “ social media” format so any dolt with an opinion fells the need to share it regardless how wrong and misguided it is.
