[Req] Victorian Era Films/TV Series

[FrCrilly]

Hi All,

I’m putting together a list of Films/TV Series that have a strong Victorian era theme.

The kind of themes I’m looking for include:
Wealthy Victorian Lifestyles,
Country Houses,
Victorian Art,
Victorian Culture,
Theatre Attending,
Sex, Prostitution,
Industrial Revolution,
Engineering,
Railways,
Science/Naturalism,
Social Change/Union Movements

(I am not looking for strongly romantic themed productions).

So far I come up with the BBC series North and South.

If anyone has any other recommendations, I am all ears.

Thanks In Advance for all responses.

I'm guessing this is some school thing?

Ummm...


From Hell (Jack the Ripper, Victorian London)
Oliver Twist (all versions, or any other filmed adaptations of Dickens eg. Great Expectations)
Shanghai Knights
Zulu (not Victorian Britain, but shows the British Empire at the time)
Any number of Sherlock Holmes films you can dig up, including the new one coming out, just avoid A Study in Terror since it's apalling...

Thanks for all responses. Here’s stuff I’ve found elsewhere.

“Topsy-Turvy, the Mike Leigh film about Gilbert and Sullivan staging The Mikado.

It ticks a few of your boxes, Victorian culture, wealthy lifestyles and Theatre Attending”.

“What the Victorians did for us - Adam Hart-Davis series”
