Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
And then in Episode 4 Regency-era SuperHans shows up in the form of Tom Holland.

If you want to see Tom Hardy as a romantic lead, he grunts and stares his way through The Virgin Queen as Robert Dudley.

No clue what's going on in Taboo but it could run for another 75 episodes along its current trajectory, and I'd be a happy camper. Also, as Mr Boods points out, it's not a top hat, but more something you'd see atop a very old Welsh granny.

Cool for pointing out all of the ghosties myself am convinced that Tom Hardy is also a ghostie. Either that or he's got a very hard head and twice as much blood as everyone else, the way he keeps getting mortally wounded and bouncing back

I am still enjoying this TV programme.

Ditto -- I don't find it intellectual or meaningful; it's nuttier than a fruit bar, and that's fine with me.

Loved the series as a whole, for the acting, dialogue, setting, but that ending felt just way too rushed to me.

Also Surely if you're the King of England, in control of the most powerful army/ navy, why wouldn't you either blockade the Thames or just send a single ship with guns to stop Delany's vessel?

:eng101: He's not King, yet; he's still Prince Regent -- but a good question!

I think he's dead, because my brain refuses to suspend disbelief that even today, with the best care available, a person probably would be extremely lucky to survive those burns.



Yerr... but with that line of thinking, Delaney should be dead 6 or 7 times over, and he always pops back up like a staring, grunting jack-in-the-box.
