(3 months later) | |
Alongside its sex scenes, BBC1's The White Queen has attracted attention for another reason – wardrobe gaffes. After complaints over over-long tunics, padded trousers, anachronistic armour and even zips, the Daily Mail points out that this week's episode, set in 1465, featured King Edward in a jacket with poppers and his wife Elizabeth with a French manicure. With the £25m summer blockbuster – heavily hyped by new director general Tony Hall, among others – making news for all the wrong reasons perhaps the BBC, like its lead characters, can work some magic and get it back on track. | Alongside its sex scenes, BBC1's The White Queen has attracted attention for another reason – wardrobe gaffes.
