Can anyone recommend any books about the Edwardian era? (I’m getting prepared for the upcoming prequel series of The Crown (which will probably be years away but whatever!)

I’m so fascinated by Queen Alexandra and Mary of Teck. The period of history from 1901 (Queen Victoria’s death and Edward VII succeeding the throne) onwards will allegedly be the basis for The Crown

Are there any good books or podcasts/documentaries you recommend? Especially those that give a good overview of that time period

I’d love to get a glimpse of some of the cast

No idea if they’re doing tickets or anything

He was, er, interesting to look at to say the least.

Who would be ideal casting for such a complex and menacing character? He is essentially “the villain” and did some very nasty things before finally “accidentally” murdering actress Lana Clarkson.

No idea if an actor has already been cast by now but who would you like to see?

I know very little and haven’t watched all of the series but I find this period in history intriguing

Consuleo Vanderbilt is particularly fascinating

I trust your recommendations!

Muriel’s grand son has done a lot to advance the case and make progress in finding Muriel McKay’s remains with very reluctant help from the police.

The area of farm land which Nizamodeen Hosein claimed he buried her body was searched and nothing was found. March of this year a garden was searched too to no avail.

Do we think it’s just the areas (particularly the farm land) need more extensive search or it could simply be that she’s not in either sites and Hosein was lying about burying her on the farm land? He was co-operative and was willing to come back to the UK to locate the exact spot, but was denied being able to leave the country.

I’m in the UK so the main one is Blenheim Palace.

I thought this would be a good place for people to suggest, we can all put it on our to do lists even if we can’t all travel around!

I’d love to see a costume exhibition. Downton Abbey had one here just before the stuff was auctioned off, it was amazing to see all the details up close!

Just wondered if there’s a chance we may be able to hear the album as usually New Zealand get it first 👀

Anyone know for sure?

I don’t know if I’m seeing empathy, advice or anything in between! I have no idea where to turn with my feelings.

I’ve been with my partner for 5 years. He can be incredibly childlike and always needs a nudge, reminder and is essentially like a teenager stuck in his room all day (he’s 30). He has many mental health conditions from health anxiety to OCD. These conditions in recent years have taken pride of place in the relationship. He will continuously talk about how ill he feels, it will just dominate everything. It can be from a scratch, to a cold. To anything. Obviously there’s only so many times a person can say “you’ll be ok” when you’re being told the same thing over and over.

He seems to get frustrated that no one can really do anything to take whatever next ailment is consuming him. I do feel sorry for him, but after all this time I’m beginning to be more frustrated and overstimulated by him.

We don’t really have a sex life anymore. He’s either hyper sexual or zero sexual. Usually zero. In some ways this is the least of the issues but of course when I look overall at the relationship, it feels more like I’m a parent reassuring and accommodating a child than a proper equal relationship.

I love him. I don’t want to end the relationship. But I’m feeling burnt out.

It sounds taboo to talk about but whenever I’m with guys they like er inhaling my scent so to speak

On the rare occasion I top and eat ass, I also like breathing in the scent. What is the science behind this.

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year and am still waiting for medication.

In the last few years I’ve been experiencing a lot of stress especially at home, which in my mind, has made my ADHD worse, but of course it’s not actually having ADHD that exasperates it, more the other way around.

I’m just wondering if anyone has experience of going from genuinely feeling ill daily, between hyper/anxious to fatigued and drained, did medication help?

I’ve spent my whole life on the more erratic end of the scale and since hitting my 30s it’s caught up with me!

The series will span from Queen Victoria’s death in 1901 to Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding in 1947.

I’m assuming it will be a stand alone series? Or possibly at most two series (remember how S1 & S2 were always filmed back to back, same with S3 and S4 and 5&6).

I’m looking forward to seeing Elizabeth and Margaret and children, but that will come later I assume.

Season 5 had an episode dedicated to the Russian Royal family the Romanovs. Could this be explored even more here? They were executed in 1918.

The whole thing of Joffrey mentioning her death in Game Of Thrones doesn’t really mean anything. It could be one of those “legend has it” stories in Westeros. No idea if Rhaneyra has a tomb or burial place in GOT universe but if she’s literally eaten by a dragon I should imagine there wasn’t much left.
