Regency House Party

In 1811, when England's King George III was declared mad, his son, the Prince Regent (later George IV), assumed the throne. The prince had always had an extravagant and dissolute lifestyle. Obsessed with fashion and women, he had many mistresses - mostly married ladies - quite upsetting his father's strict moral code. His lavish habits were unbridled - in 1791, he owed the equivalent of over three million dollars to his tailors alone - and set the tone for an era of decadence. Now, in the tradition of THE 1900 HOUSE, MANOR HOUSE, FRONTIER HOUSE and COLONIAL HOUSE, PBS presents REGENCY HOUSE PARTY, a series of four episodes in which 10 modern-day men and women get in on the romantic action and the way of life that typified the Regency era. For nine sunny summer weeks, a group of eligible bucks and buxom ladies takes up residence in a magnificent country estate for a house party exactly like those hosted at the height of the Regency. But will 21st-century folk who are really looking for love manage to navigate the strict social protocols of the day? more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-13-2008; missed opportunity; Excellent for information on period detail and life in the Regency tidbits, marred by a boring cast who seemed unable to get into the spirit of things and kept comparing Regency life to the 21st century. Barring the Countess, few others...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-11-2007; Could have been excellent with better editing and follow up; I recently discovered the PBS House series and watched all of them.

I agree with the earlier reviewer in...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-23-2007; Why don't they put subtitles on these shows?; We were frustrated with trying to understand what these people were saying. Who can understand the British accents? We had difficulty with the speech of some of the participants. They were difficult to understand at times.
