Amazon.co.uk Review
In revealing the strength of the marriage which left Queen Victoria so devastated as a widow, the colourful costume drama IVictoria and Albert/I could almost serve as a prequel to the film IMrs Brown/I. In common with that dramatisation, this TV drama features performances (and cameos) from some of Britain's finest actors, this time including Jonathan Pryce, David Suchet, Penelope Wilton, Peter Ustinov, Richard Briers and the wonderful Nigel Hawthorne as Lord Melbourne. p Victoria Hamilton and Jonathan Firth are the impressive leads who command the viewer's attention through the lengthy process of turning Albert and Victoria's arranged marriage into a love story, from their first inauspicious meetings, to Albert's dissatisfaction over the impotence of his position. Concentrating as it does on Victoria's early reign means the drama does tend to skip over the couples' later years with their children and disappointments over their heir, Bertie, but overall this story has all the romance, settings, make-up and wigs of a fine costume drama. p BOn the DVD:/B IVictoria and Albert/I comes as a two-disc set that features an informative 25-minute "making of" documentary presented by the producer, that includes contributions from the Screenwriter, Director, stars Jonathan Firth and Penelope Wilton, and the Director of Photography. The filmographies are somewhat abridged but the Victoria Timeline is interesting for those wanting to learn more about the authentic history of events. --IRachel Ediss/I

Moving account of the early years of Victoria's reign July 21, 2002

...It charts the romance between Queen Victoria and her Prince Consort. brGreat direction and beautiful acting, particularly from Nigel Hawthorne (in a final role before his untimely death), Diana Rigg and Victoria Hamilton (who should be set for big things thanks to her performance here). A very moving story and my only criticism would be that it moves very quickly through Albert's final years. It could really have done with a third episode. I have to admit I'm writing this before I've bought the DVD, but the programme made such an impression on me when it was shown in August 2001 that I'll certainly be buying it. Highly recommended.

I believe Victoria and Albert to be historically correct, and the costumes were just wonderful. I would recommend this DVD to anyone who has an interest in the Victorian era.
