Why do ladies like a Period Drama?

Re: Period

phew! thought you were gonna discuss summat else!

Re: Period

I must admit I love 'em too Spitty.
Maybe it's something to do with ladies and gentlemen are usually portrayed as being so ultra polite to each other - among the aristocracy anyway. The men had lovely manners and treated ladies like ladies, and the women were both coy and respectful.
I love the way they dress, and how the men defend their women folk, and the whole romantic escapism thing I suppose.

Re: Period

Good stories and usually very little violence or sex, love the costumes and often set in lovely parts of the country.

Mr Darcy, Mr Selfridge, Captain Poldark need I go on?

Re: Period

Yes, I agree with Twiz and Julie too.

Re: Period

Escapism ..
...something lacking in many a modern male maybe (like beards, breeches and chivalry )

Re: Period

I'm not keen - I like Downton though - well you got the lower class in that - so not too much on the uppers

Re: Period

Great costumes,great scenery but we all know that women should retire before the port is passed;
