A series of six programmes
Introduced by Joan Bakewell

The Victorian age was the age of steel - from the Crystal Palace to the crinoline. Skirts could measure five yards round the hem and needed strong foundations.
In the programme, actual clothes from the Victorian period, in all their intricate detail, are compared with costumes designed for The Charge of the Light Brigade and The Pallisers.
