The Duchess (Over 18s Screening)

Period drama retelling the true life story of early 19th century socialite Georgiana Cavendish (Knightley), who finds herself in a mismatched and temperamental marriage, complete with a meddling other woman. She falls for the future prime minister Charles Grey (Cooper) but only inequality and tragedy can come of such assignations. Familiar and tedious stuff,'The Duchess' is essentially a beautifully shot period TV drama.
