observer Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Are film makers running out of material these days? Watched this period drama about the Duchess of Devonshire, who shared a home with the Duke's mistress, had an Affair with Charles Grey (future PM) - so what? Hardly an historical turning point eh? Next they'll be making a film about a King with a stammer - oops they have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Perhaps they could put out a Jeremy Kyle special on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 OK Obs, I grant you it wasn't the best-ever drama on TV. But compared with most of what is on, it wasn't that bad. And don't forget, the ladies love stories about infidelity, particularly involving the aristocracy. But I sense you don't do aristocracy?

observer Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 On the contrary, the perfidious exploits of "our betters", have set the moral compass for the rest of us, throughout history! Not sure though, that "the Duchess" did anything that was of historical note however; suspect perhaps a feminist motive lies behind this film?
