Clearly seeking some more post-Downton options, ITV are reported to have commissioned a version of Amanda Foreman's book, Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire. BBC Films backed a version, The Duchess, starring Keira Knightley, back in 2008.
Now, Baby Cow productions, led by former BBC Films boss Christine Langan (executive producer on The Duchess), has teamed with Bad Wolf productions, led by former BBC Drama producers Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner, for a series, to be written by former BBC2 Controller, Janice Hadlow. Neat.
Meanwhile, if you're interested in historical mysteries, consider this Tweet today from Amanda Foreman...
I always suspected I was being punished by a certain individual, that the doors of his media kingdom were closed to me unless or until I put out for him. I couldn’t prove it though. Thank you to the women who spoke up and exposed him.— Amanda Foreman (@DrAmandaForeman) November 22, 2017
