Ike: We know we're talking about period dramais undergoing this huge sea change. Rom a kind of standing at cross roads where, on the one hand, we have audience expectations in terms of traditional costuming,. filming locations and props must be accurate. And ten there is surprise expressed. I think it can often act as a sort of justification for presenting stories from other perspectives. There is still that surprise that history was not all about aristocratsad it was notall about white people.
