• Very good with only one fault
  This is quite a good historical piece of 18th century London. It attempts to show the city as it really was rather than a polite and idealistic view. I feel that it does modernise the period somewhat with its 'modern' swearing amd mores, but basically it is a good programme that has an authentic feel. My only gripe is with the background music and the monologue at the beginning of every episode. At least the music is kept under control in most episodes, and most scenes are without it - thank goodness.... more info
