i must admit i really enjoy victoria and albert . it be excellent . my only criticism of the film be it could have be a couple of episode longer a it leave out so many other possibility rush to reach it conclusion . jonathon firth be really very good a prince albert and victoria hamilton make a good job at queen victoria . i particularly liked dame diana rigg a baroness lehzen and penelope wilton a the duchess of kent . sir peter ustinov be marvellous a king william iv . patrick malahide be so completely odious a sir john conroy . i also find nigel hawthorne brilliant a viscount melbourne . rachel pickup be really very good a lady henrietta standish and david suchet be great a baron stockmar . jonathon pryce be adequate a king leopold i. elizabeth spriggs be delightful in a cameo role in the rival . i would really recommend this .
