Hi Roisin (and everyone else on this forum)

I have really fallen in love with the whole PRB. Thanks to this series the paintings I admired so much are now enhanced with a new, deeper dimension in my eyes.

I have read Franny Moyle’s book (from whence the series is inspired) and truly believe that there is material and scope for at least another series, with the whole Rossetti-Fanny/Rossetti-Jane-Morris/Morris-Georgiana-Ned/Ned-Maria Zambaco…triangles, with romps, lust, attempted suicides and artists driven insane by loved Muses.

I am also the Administrator for the Facebook group, where I have uploaded loads of stills from the series and photos of what the original “characters” looked like. Please join in and keep the momentum going…you never know what could happen next!

I loved the series and was disapointed that there were only 6 episodes. Sadly due to a huge drop in ratings after the 1st episode I doubt the beeb will make a 2nd series. But I REALLY hope they do.

I agree with Blanche… Best thing on telly in years! We were gutted when we turned the telly on and it was not on! We did not realise it was only 6 parts & thetefore had finished! It’s such a shame- a second series is a must there are so many storylines 2expand on it seems inconclusive ending like this!

I utterly adored the series. I had no idea that Episode 6 was the last in the run – I turned on tonight expecting another delightful hour and am feeling very tragic at being denied it! Please please please please BBC make another series. This one was the most delightful piece of telly I have watched for years.

I was also checking here in the hope that there might be hint of a second series to come- I loved the romp ( and agree that Aidan Turner getting his kit off was a good reason for switching on!). I was really interested to hear about some of the historical innaccuracies- would be great to find out more in the next series… Come on BBC!
