Hamlette tagged me with this period drama tag back in November. I've been horrible at filling out tags lately, but I decided I really wanted to do this one, so here goes! Should be fun.
1. What's your favorite Period Drama movie?
Oh, honestly. What are you trying to do, make this difficult for me? I simply cannot pick an absolute favorite. That's impossible. *dramatic sigh*
I'll just give you one of my favorites. (That's the best I can do.) And I think it'll have to be... Emma 2009. (Surprise, surprise! Bet you never saw that one coming.)
2. What's your favorite Period Drama series?
I'll go with All Creatures Great and Small this time since that's what we're currently watching...and it's SUPER good, people. Really. If you haven't seen it yet you absolutely, positively must. (Isn't that so, Evie? :))
3. Which Period Drama do you dislike the most?
Oooh! Do you want a whole list? I can give you a whole list. Middlemarch, Persuasion 2007, Emma 1996, Pride and Prejudice 2005... all right, I'll stop.

4. Anne of Green Gables or Little Dorrit?
Goodness. I don't know!! Maybe...no...I can't choose between them. Next question, please.
5. Your favorite Period Drama dresses?
To be honest, I don't think that much about the dresses in Period Dramas. I mean, I notice them, but I don't tend to give them a whole lot of consideration. Still I suppose I have to chose something so here goes...
 |
| This one's pretty cute. The lattice-type work on the sleeves and bodice is so unique. |
 |
| That collar, though! Isn't it pretty? |
 |
| I love gingham dresses and the colors of these particular dresses are scrumptious. Just my style. |
6. Who's your favorite Period Drama character? (Okay, pick at least five)
MY FAVORITE WHAAAT? Oh. I can choose five? Well, that's much better. You give me options. You make me happy. (Heehee.)
In an attempt to be somewhat creative, I'm going to limit my choices to side characters only. No heroes and heroines.
7. If you could join a royal ball, which dress would you wear? (Pick a Period Drama dress)

Mr. Bingley; Pride and Prejudice 1995
(Such a darling character.)
Tristan Farnon; All Creatures Great and Small
(Naughty, but loveable. ;))
Peter Pevensie; BBC's The Chronicles of Narnia
(Oh. Did I say I wasn't going to include any heroes? Oops. Well, he was too good to pass up. I love Peter!)
Edmund Sparkler; Little Dorrit
(Such a ridiculous, but adorable sort of fellow.)
[I guess I've got sort of a guy theme going here. Ah well. May as well finish it out.]
Siegfried Farnon; All Creatures Great and Small
(Eccentric in the extreme. And positively hilarious!)
7. If you could join a royal ball, which dress would you wear? (Pick a Period Drama dress)
Well, this dress might not actually fit at a royal ball, but I'd love to wear Meg's pink party dress. It's so pretty! And I love the sleeves.
8. What's your favorite Jane Austen movie?
Pride and Prejudice 1995 and Emma 2009. Please don't make me choose between them.
9. Downton Abbey or Call the Midwife?
Downton Abbey. I have yet to see Call the Midwife.
10. Sybil Crawley, Jenny Lee, Emma Woodhouse or Marian of Knighton?
Emma Woodhouse. Sybil Crawley second. (I've never seen the other two.)
11. Which couples of a Period Drama do you like the most? (Pick at least four)
Ohhh! Fun! Sometime I really need to do an entire post devoted to favorite period drama couples...but for now, here's four.
Emma and Mr. Knightley; Emma 2009
(Somehow they always manage to get into my posts, don't they?)
Alf and Minnie; Lark Rise to Candleford
(One of the cutest couples ever!)
James and Helen; All Creatures Great and Small
(Sweetness in the extreme!)
Amy Dorrit and Arthur Clennam; Little Dorrit
(Heartbreakingly adorable.)
12. And last, which Period Drama villain do you like the most?
Oh, dear. How will I ever be able to answer that? There's so many I like, how can I possibly narrow it down? (Haha! Just kidding. I'm not that fond of villains. Really I'm not.) Let's see. I'm sure I could come up with a better one, but for now I'm going to say Prince John from Ivanhoe 1997 (produced by BBC and A&A). No, I don't really like Prince John. He's despicable. But I have to admit, he's extremely entertaining. One of the most entertaining characters in the film, actually. Even more than Ivanhoe. ('Tis a fact.)
And now I'm going to tag...
Molly at A Ramble Through the Woods
Elanor at Musings of a Jane Austen Wannabe
Cordy at Write On Cordy!
Naomi at Wonderland Creek
And anyone else who would like to do this. Seriously, if you want to fill out these answers, PLEASE do so. And then let me know so I can read your post!
Good-night, everyone. It's past midnight, and considering that I have to get up at 6:30 tomorrow for work I have a feeling it might be a good idea for me to get to bed. What do you think? ;)
