Oh my goodness,how I adored this ! Tuned in expecting it to be a little dull TBH.But I'm enthralled by the way the writer has portrayed the Brotherhood as the rock stars of their day, to make it more relevant,and so much more entertaining! I expect it will be attacked by the critics in today's papers...but who cares 'bout them? Been in love with Dante Gabrielle Rossetti ever since I was an impressionable girl....just on the strength of his name! ;D xx

Honestly...it really is worth a look.Been a very long while since I was heard to remark 'Wow,that was fantastic!' after an hour's telly! And I have already watched it again on i-player soooo......Breath of Fresh Air time in my book! (You'll both probably hate it LOL)

I am gonna try and catch it on i-player thing, I gave a talk on that painting (the one of the girl with red hair floating in the river, I know, I know, a proper credit to the art world what with my ability to remember titles of work I actually gave talks about )

Wasn't it Lizzie Siddle? I may be making this up but isn't she a distant connection of Viala's?
