There's that theory that once a country has been powerful, it always looks back at that time. That's my problem with English costume dramas, all that looking backwards. I know they're mostly made to sell an image abroad, but enough! And I've got a suspicion that ideas/writers are often of a certain class and gender. So basically they have a limited outlook/knowledge base. No new ideas. So they endlessly remake old programmes. They are just about to remake The Generation Game! Killme!
