    The Victorians

    The four episodes in this short series are packed full of very interesting and entertaining information. The facts are well presented by Jeremy Paxman with great locations and art. The episodes cover several subjects such as Victorian home-life, art, values, views on morality the development of cities and many more. I learned a lot and this series really made my interest in Victorians grow. I recommend this series to everyone. The Victorians did amazing things, lived through incredible times, and we can all still learn from their achievements and mistakes today. I wish there were (or will be) more of these episodes. 10/10
