Superb. Excellent casting, superlative performances from all players. Excellent recreation of a vital period in history. Things could have been very different indeed!!
Highly recommended
i would have given this superb series 4 stars but for two reasons.
firstly the last few episodes were a bit dull as edward kept talking to ministers asking the same questions like should he marry wallis and would this mean abdication from the throne?
secondly i wanted to know more about life after the abdication.how the couple lived and did they regret anything.i dont think im spoling things to say yes edward did give up the throne for wallis!!!!!
the looks of cynthia harris and edward fox matched the royal pair exactly.the costimes and production lavish.well worth a look.
