A lavish true-life tale of love, betrayal, and political intrigue in Georgian England comes to video with <I>Aristocrats</I>, a six-part drama from the BBC. Based on the bestselling biography by Stella Tillyard, <I>Aristocrats</I> charts the tumultuous lives and loves of the four Lennox sisters, spirited daughters of the Duke of Richmond, great-granddaughters of King Charles II. The series features an impressive cast including Tony Award nominee Sian Phillips (<I>The Age of Innocence</I>, <I>I, Claudius</I>), Jodhi May (<I>The Last of the Mohicans</I>), and Diana Quick (<I>The Big Sleep</I>). <p> The Lennox sisters are described by <I>The Radio Times</I> as "four women liberated before their time the 18th century's very own 'It' girls." The eldest daughter, Caroline (Serena Gordon), was a headstrong individualist who eloped with a commoner politician more than 20 years her senior and was consequently cut off from the family for many years. Emily (Geraldine Somerville), the second sister, was a flirtatious beauty who set her heart on the Irish Lord Kildare. Much younger than her two older sisters, Louisa (Anne-Marie McDuff) was considered the darling of the family, marrying one of the richest men in Ireland and devoting her life to charitable causes. The very youngest sister, Sarah (Jodhi May), scandalized society with her many affairs, including a dalliance with King George III. Against all odds, the four privileged women manipulated the conventions of their times to get what they wanted and make their mark on history.
Viewer Reviews
This is a terrific series! The costumes and the actors are exceptional. My husband watched this story with me.
He is someone who loves your typical guy movie like "The Terminator". Trust me, when you can get someone like him watch this kind of series... it means it is a really a good one!
