Soo - anyone else watch Channel 4's two part program ostensibly about Lord Byron, but in fact really about Rupert Everett and his enormous ahem! ego?

Just me, then.

It's great telly. Not only is Rossetti intriguing, I'm trying to work out why Ruskin keeps throwing his wife at Millais. Is Ruskin meant to be gay or just a bit twisted?

I'm old enough to remember when BBC2 did another Pre-Raphaelite drama back in the 1970s. I was obsessed with Hunt in that one. In this one, Rossetti is definitely the more interesting character. Roll on 9pm :-)

I think Ruskin is gay and is secretly wanting Millais and is throwing his missus at him to see if he can catch them in the act and get off over it.

I may be watching through slash goggles though. ::blushes::

We are both not-very-youngish and yet I do not recall the drama of which you speak. I was probs obsessing over Brideshead. :D

I watch everything through slash-tinted goggles *g*

I'm racking my brain to try and remember the name of the drama. I know it didn't have the words 'Pre-Raphaelite' in the title though. It was on very early in the 1970s around when 'The Pallisers' was screened. It's a bugger because without the title, I can't even find it on IMDB :(

Try harder Ali, try harder. :D I love my period dramas and I can't believe I missed one. I was brought up on By the Sword Divided and The Onedin Line and Poldark and Flambards etc.

I remember it too but also can't remember the name.

Ah, I knew it, I knew it! The Brotherhood.
