5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and Compelling Drama, 9 Dec 2004
By Liam (Dublin) - See all my reviews
This is a spectacular production that has held up well considering it is 30 years old. Annette Cosby's performance as Queen Victoria is fabulous, considering that she depicts Victoria from her early 20s to her early 80s! Timothy West makes a good Prince of Wales, and the supporting cast is very good. Christopher Neame is compelling and beleivable as Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Felicity Kendal warms our hearts as the charming Princess Vicky. A must buy for all royal lovers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful series!, 19 Jan 2007
By Diane Burke (Perth, WA formerly Aberdeen UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first watched this on ATV in 1975 as an 11 year old. I ended up having a massive crush on Charles Sturridge as a result! I was overjoyed to get the chance to watch this on DVD and my own little 5 year loves watching "Bertie" and "Mama" (Queen Victoria).

Timothy West makes for a marvellous Edward although I thought at the time, they could have let Charles Sturridge continue with playing the young Bertie a little longer as they kept Deborah Grant with Alix for one more episode.

The acting by Annette Crosbie is superlative. For me, she is the definitive Queen Victoria - her resemblance is remarkable. Robert Hardy made for an excellent Prince Albert. It is quite clear to see how much the Queen must have depended upon him and how his death affected her.

Christopher Neame as Kaiser made for a wonderfully wicked individual - torn between family loyalties and foreign ambition.

There are too many fine performances here by a wonderfully assembled cast with many names now sadly lost - John Gielgud, Michael Hordern (such a cuddly character in Gladstone!). Lovely to see Timothy West's own children taking part as the young George and Eddy; making for three generations of the West family acting in Royal dramas. Apparently Timothy West's own father Lockwood played Edward VII in "Guest of Honour" in "Upstairs Downstairs".

This is a series I have already watched three times on DVD since receiving it and as I said, my little 5 year old enjoys it and asks questions so I feel he's sort of getting a history lesson while being entertained. Can't get better than that!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! 30 years on from 1st viewing, 15 Feb 2005
By A Customer
At the age of 8, I sneakily watched this bent double and peaking through the sitting room door at home and was rapt; nearly thirty years on it has the same effect on me, albeit with viewing in more comfortable circumstances! OK the production may be a little dated, but the performances of Annette Crosbie, Robert Hardy, Felicity Kendall for starters and a host of other actors & actresses who have since then become household names are totally brilliant (I noticed the name of Charles Sturridge on the credits who played the young Bertie and later went on to direct Brideshead Revisted). The portrayals, in particular those of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert (having watched the first three episodes this time around), seem so authentic that this is how one imagine's they might have been in real life
