I watched Downton Abbey and the one thing that struck me was all the women were thin. You look at pictures and portraits of the era and the women were a lot more filled out. You look at the dinners they were having in the TV show and they surely would have put on the pounds.

Yup, and all the women in historical movies in the '60s and '70s have modern hair. The movie makers cannot help themselves.

You never know how they will do it. The Wolf Hall production values were much more accurate to the time. We can only hope it is better than the soap opera feel they gave Downton Abbey.
