Did any of the other UK arachnes watch Bleak House last night? The housekeeper at Chesney Wold, Mrs Rouncewell, was wearing a beautiful Bedfordshire lace collar, on the right sort of dress in the right time period. Kudos to the researchers for getting it right.
This production of Bleak House is being shown on the BBC but also has production credits from a US TV company, can't remember the exact name but has Boston in it, so US arachnes should get the chance to see it. Having read the book (by coincidence) immediately before the series started, I can report that it is keeping very close to the book. Worth watching even if it didn't have lace in. -- A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?
