BritBox’s newest drama Outrageous combines the traditional family saga period drama format with an historical and political analysis of biographical and issues. You may have heard of the Mitford Sisters — whether through their published works, their marriages, or their politics — but this is the first time a series has chronicled all of their lives. GBH Drama interviewed screenwriter Sarah Williams and Executive Producer Matthew Mosley on how they brought the turbulent 1930s to life.

BritBox’s newest period drama, Outrageous, portrays the true story of how the turbulent politics of the 1930s simultaneously tore a family apart and also forged their desire to rebel against their upper-class sheltered background. GBH Drama interviewed Bessie Carter, who portrays oldest sister Nancy Mitford.

Jane Austen fans around the world have been celebrating the 250th Anniversary of her birth with a wide variety of festivals, conferences, conventions, and other activities. Her novels and her life continue to inspire novelists alongside television and film creatives. Some of these stories are set in the Regency era while others speak to her relevance in today’s world.

As drama fans, it’s honestly kind of wild that we are just now talking about The Gilded Age for the first time. And yet, here we are. Season 3 is currently airing, and now that we’ve reached the midpoint (and an episode with some MAJOR plot developments, which yes, we will be discussing; spoilers ahead) it’s time for GBH Drama to talk over everything that’s happened so far this season: the good, the bad, and the dramatic.

Actors Denée Benton, Jordan Donica, and Sullivan Jones, and the creative team behind The Gilded Age discuss their day at the ballpark.

Cyril’s story on Call The Midwife shares some parallels with Alphy on Grantchester, even though the series is set a decade apart. Both are men in church leadership. They both have to consider their future wife’s role in their religious career. Neither can afford to have the public perception that they’re engaging in morally questionable behavior. Alphy has already had a scrape with a love interest who was involved in illegal and unethical activity. Cyril’s divorce shares a similar space, emphasizing the need to proceed with caution. But the clearest parallel is that both Cyril and Alphy pursue interracial relationships because they feel natural attraction and chemistry with women they’ve met by chance.

Patience — starring Ella Maisy Purvis — concluded its first season on PBS on Sunday with the title character facing the dual fears of anthrax exposure and the possibility of going on a first date. The good news for Patience fans is that UK Channel 4 has already given Season 2 the green light. The bad news is that it won’t premiere on PBS for at least a year. In the meantime, BritBox’s Code of Silence mixes some of the best elements of Patience with a hint of the thriller genre.

If you looked at the credits of MASTERPIECE’s World On Fire and the 2004 Agatha Christie’s Marple adaption, or BritBox’s new thriller Code of Silence, one name — and one UK production company — keeps popping up: Damien Timmer and Mammoth Screen. GBH Drama initially interviewed Damien Timmer to get a sneak peek at Towards Zero and MASTERPIECE’s upcoming new adaption of the J.G. Galsworthy’s Victorian epic The Forsytes novel, but we ended up with an in-depth look at how the process of bringing your favorite series to life has changed over the course of Timmer’s career.
