The Story of the Costume Drama

In A Call To Arms the series investigates how costume drama is not all beautiful settings, bodices and britches. In this final episode we look at the adventurous side of the costume drama. From Sharpe and Hornblower to more recent series such as My Boy Jack we see how many of the most popular dramas seen on British TV have recreated days of adventure, danger and war.
