The nal season of The Crown is set to drop later this year, and this docudrama is a dazzling entrée to that main event. This four-episode series pulls the lens on Queen Victoria’s four favourite granddaughters, the Hesse sisters. Scandal, deceit, death and heartbreak await in this action-packed true story that takes place in World War I. Rather than leaving viewers to Google what’s real and what’s an exaggeration, the insightful commentary from historians helpfully backs up the authenticity of this astonishing story. Michele Dotrice (pictured, Some Mother’s Do ‘Ave ‘Em gives a formidable performance as one of Britain’s most iconic monarchs. It kicks o the wedding of Princess Victoria (Josie Dunn) of Hesse and by Rhine to Prince Louis of Battenberg (Richard Winsor), which does not go to plan, by any stretch.

The world of TV dramas can be staunchly far-fetched, but there’s nothing forced about heart-wrenching, cast, including Stephen Peacocke (pictured, The ) and Emma Harvie (Colin from Accounts), and also the fact that all the extraordinary storylines are based on real incidents from the Royal Flying Doctors Service. Punctuated with close-ups of the characters, the intimate camera work pushes all the emotional buttons. Tonight, Pete (Peacocke) must work with the suddenly returned Eliza (Emma Hamilton) on a mysterious case of a sick four-year-old.
