Editorial Reviews
Although he waited nearly 60 years to become king and reigned for only nine, Edward VII changed the British monarchy forever. Derided by his mother, Queen Victoria, as frivolous and untrustworthy, Edward was in fact a skillful, determined diplomat who longed to be useful to his country. This classic 13-part British miniseries dramatizes his life, from frustrated prince and inveterate philanderer to loving father and respected statesman. Firmly grounded in history, it intimately depicts the palace dynamics that reverberated in parliament and beyond during the years preceding World War I. The production boasts a star-studded cast, including Timothy West, Annette Crosbie, Robert Hardy, John Gielgud, Felicity Kendal, Charles Dance, and Francesca Annis. With richly detailed sets and Emmy-winning costumes, Edward the King captures England at a time when the Empire was at its height and the monarchy on the verge of transformation. Special features include commentaries for selected episodes by Timothy West, Annette Crosbie, and director John Gorrie; two featurettes; introductions for selected episodes by Robert McNeal; and a photo gallery with commentary by the stars and the director. Originally broadcast as Edward the Seventh on Britain's ITV in 1974 (arriving in the U.S. in 1979), this set contains the complete 13-episode British cut. From the Studio
