I'm not
entirely sure why no one ever made me watch this before now, and I'm also not entirely sure who to credit for the fact that I now have... Did someone share this with me on twitter? Was it a recommended video on youtube? I know not, but what I
do know is that it stars the fabulous Alan Rickman (and a whole host of other faces you'll probably recognize, devoted costume drama-lovers as you are), and it's downright hilarious.
It's the BBC Christmas special from 2000, and it features lovely costumes, lovelorn dramatics, copious breathy utterings of "Mama!" and a generally great deal of silliness. In other words, you should stop whatever you are doing and watch it basically right now.
Maybe even on repeat...
Enjoy!
