Based on author Michel Faber’s best-selling romp of a novel, this lavish BBC Two adaptation presents Victorian London as a hellish, heady brew of filth, degraded innocence and hypocrisy.
After last week’s rather bouncy and luridly erotic first instalment of BBC Two’s four-part Victorian drama comes a more thoughtful and reflective episode, focusing on some of the other characters briefly met previously.
Blushing and pounding onto our screens with an incredibly strong off and on-screen pedigree is a new four-part BBC drama set in the darker side of Victorian London, revealing a world seething with vitality, sexuality, ambition and emotion.
