By their very nature, period dramas are supposed to transport viewers to a different time realm.
But while the genre has sky-rocketed in popularity of late, there's one aspect of the dramas that appear to be keeping them firmly grounded in the 21st Century: the casts' cosmetically enhanced faces.
Earlier this month, the new series 10 Pound Poms - starring Michelle Keegan and Faye Marsay - started airing on BBC One.

Now you know the real reason that his family fled. That whole part of the galaxy is becoming a ghetto.
Im willing to agree but only from the neck down.
I’m sure those puppies were swinging freely in the Land of Ice and Snow.
No, they are being ruined by lousy acting, writing, and farcical accounts of history.
Do you remember the title?
Well, that WAS part of her job, wasn't it?
The title of the movie? Yeah. But it’s AWFUL! lol it’s an indie found footage, made by a guy and his family during the COVID lockdowns. It’s called “Caviar” (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22306776/). The best part was hearing Hillary talk about human sacrifices (”new gods”) and AOC threatening a podcaster. lol
Those are interesting sites — thanks. Their photos demonstrate that Hollywood gets it wrong more often than not. In fact, Hollywood rarely gets it right with the women’s styles. Perhaps it’s Hollywood’s entrenched view that Americans are too stupid to deserve greater accuracy, historic or otherwise.
Up until recently, due to the recent innovations such as Botox and microblading, the BBC dramas seemed to do much better with historical costuming and hair.
Actually, I would take the perfect and brilliant white teeth as an example. Peoples teeth in the past were terrible, and they lost a lot of teeth at (what I think we would consider) young ages.
I have 15 horses and can supply them daily to meet all their needs.
Now if I just knew who to contact in Hollywood...
Correct! I still don’t understand how they tolerated wearing corsets with all the pilings, the petticoat, the stockings, two chemise, etc. etc. and we haven’t even gotten yet to the beautiful dresses that were also layered. I can’t even imagine what they went through in hot and humid states. Go to Pinterest and see the beautiful garments they wore …I would not last one day in those garments here in our 100+ degree hot weather town. I would literally wilt …I need my refrigerated air. But back then women were women, who strived to look beautiful descent, and with a sense of great modesty.
DVD is A storage system.
It just so happens to be used mainly for videos
Dvds can have videos in 4k on em.
Dvds also store music, operating systems and anything else you want.
I recall marvelling at the perfect teeth of most of the cast of 1883.
Thanks, Ill have to find it.
Some things are so bad that they somehow sneak around the other side to being good. All my life I liked those brown little wax and lard nuggets that they sell as impulse items at checkout lanes mislabeled as “brownies”. In the 90s there was a national brand that sold microwavable frozen chili dog burritos for eighteen cents and I would buy the whole case every time I saw them.
Movies can be like that. Laserblast and Gargoyles come to mind. Where I lived we had a show called TJ and the ANT that came on about 11PM and went to around 5AM. It was all night movies from the 30s up to what was then more recent, the grade of each decades movies becoming progressively worse chronologically. Sitting there alone at night, sometimes it seemed like it was my own personal box of larks vomit bonbons and crunchy frogs.
Yknow?
How can I pass that opportunity up?
sort of silly, should they only hire actors with wooden teeth to be real also?
LMAO
My favorite I think is Stagecoach. I like it very much, and also I'm a big Claire Trevor fan. Her best was Born To Kill, though, not a western.
I like Tim Holt's movies.
I also like some of the old silent movies. There are a couple of Tom Mix movies that are interesting. I also liked The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." And I saw an amusing silent movie the other night: Too Many Kisses.
they changed clothes up to 3 times a day as a partial way of addressing that.
During the Victorian era, rich ladies wore a heavy amount of powders and face creams…most of which were full of toxic metals.
Before that I imagined many persons faces had pox marks and boils.
Haha. I see what you did there.
