Scandals, staff intrigues, political skirmishes; sound familiar? Actually, it is the Victorian Age.
MASTERPIECE: Victoria, starring Jenna Coleman as the young Queen and Tom Hughes as her husband Prince Albert, returns in January for a third season. Starting in 1848, the latest installment of the lavish drama will depict a turbulent and uncertain time for both Europe and the monarchy. With revolution on the continent and the Chartist movement reaching its peak in London, Victoria is under pressure from the government to leave London for her own safety.
