And the artists who like the pre-raphaelites will be fine with that.... the modern art intelligencia may be better typified by reactions like germaine grers over at the guardian, but then, none of the moder/contempary art intelligencia can draw, let alone recognise beauty if it were to gnaw off their face. And most of them don't seem to like the actual PRB, let alone this drama. Which was well written, well acted, and glorius to look at. And as I write this after episode 6 has aired....over far too soon, though with room for a sequel series hopefully. The shoudl eba littel beauty and a littel fantasy in with your diet of realism, thats the lesson the PRB taught...if something isn't beautful then it is the artists job to make it that way. the ‘art purists’ don’t give a monkeys…we know its true to the spirit of thething, whilst condensing and disrting historical truth for the sake of the thing.

Well BBC...you only have to look at the internet traffic to see that you've unleashed a frenzy of women lusting after Aidan Turner ...he could become your hottest star in every sense of the word ..oh, and he's a good actor too! Still loving Peter Bowker's explanations for his construction of each episode.shame that next week is the last week. PS...ignore poor reviews...you should have publicised the series more as a god romp through PRB private lives so that all those art purists would have known what the show was , and wasn't , going to be about mmmmm what to say about episode 5…it’s all about that raunchy Rossetti isn’t it ( what…you mean there was a story line going on…?)

Enjoyed Jennie's interview ( website) and entered new word ( merkin) into my vocab! Aidan Turner trying to break the record for how many women he can .....in a one hour episode. Peter Bowker correct in suggesting we'll be falling out of love with Rossetti in episode 4 as his self-seeking behaviour comes to the fore...we can, of course, never fall out of love with AT himself. looking forward to next episode Thought that Jennie Jacques and Rafe Spall were great in episode 4…..much less humour and more poignant that previous episodes.
