Historically correct and interesting
17 November 2021
Was what I personally believe to be correct in almost every character of note, the slum areas and the brutality and health problems of the time. For me, there are so many excellent acting performances and so many other departments who absolutely nailed it. Richie Campbell (Nightingale) Tom Ward, Ryan Sampson, Laurence Fox, Charlie Creed Miles and a host of others. The very poor DID clean the corpses and bury them, Did drink the same water that had their urine and faeces in it. They washed in it also. Carcases of animals as well as human bodies were by all accounts thrown into the river. Boz, mentioned in history of Charles Dickens was the 'pen name' of the illustrator of Dicken's books. The 'Rookeries' which described an area of London full to the gunnels with Crims, actually existed and was virtually a 'no - go' area situated near Covent Garden Market.
