TV drama on Queen Victoria soon

The early life Queen Victoria will be explored in a new drama. The eight-hour series "Victoria" will follow Britain's longest-reigning monarch as she leaves childhood behind and ascends to the throne at the age of just 18, reported Digital Spy. Novelist Daisy Goodwin is making her screenwriting debut with the series, which will be produced by Mammoth Screen, the team behind BBC One's recent hit period drama "Poldark"."This epic series is a chance to see the Victorian age through the eyes of the Queen herself for the first time. She's a vibrant, fascinating character whose legacy lives on today,"said Steve November, director of drama.
