The BBC pulled the plug on this great series because the production was too expensive to produce. All one has to do is look at the clothes that were made for the series. Beautiful fabrics and great design. That in itself will take up 60 percent of your budget. I loved this series and I revisit "The House of Eliott" once a year. I just love those clothes. This series was also educational because I was not aware that the "ready to wear" was created during the 20's. Also the fashion industry is a cut throat businesss. Where can I get my hands on some 20's fashions? We dress so primitive today with our shorts and t-shirts.
