Royal Upsstairs Downstairs Brighton Pavilion

[@poetryjones7946]

Thanks for uploading this series - never seen it before; fascinating!

[@gtaylor6937]

I love the tailoring of Tim's jackets! Perfection.

[@SAnn-rf3oz]

That jelly mold product is a riot!!!😂

[@milano13able]

I love this show

[@iamsatich]

absolutely jaw-dropping with how over the top it is--love it! gonna go!

[@msangela9411]

Thanks so much for uploading! I love anything about Victorian Cookery, Jellies especially! Also interesting to see Ivan Day. I'd look at his website many times, but had never seen what he looked like.

[@poetryjones7946]

The jellies are so interesting and addictive! The molds, construction, ingredients, everything! I'd love to see a documentary on just that!

The exterior and interiors only make sense when considered in it's intended context: The Prince Regent's (George IV) summer party palace. It was a night-time fantasy, the gardens lit up and the french doors open to sea breezes, the strongly colored and gilt rooms softened by candle and lamp light. He entertained fashionable throngs with balls, banquets, and concerts, while gambling, political intrigue and love affairs were pursued in the salons at the periphery. It was not meant to be used in any other season. Brighton itself was a quaint little town of two and three story villas and terraces occupied by his "set."

All that food and no fridge!

20:57 -- what is a blan march / blanc marche? I couldn't quite understand what Rosemary said. What is that white sauce she is using?

[@theheartoftexas]

Trojanette83 It's Blancmange , a type of pudding or custard. You could probably find a recipe on the internet.

[@FreeRangeChiHuaHuas]

Or buy in supermarket and add milk

[@kayerin5749]

If you've ever read "Little Women" written in the late 19th century, Jo brings over a blancmange for Laurie who has a sore throat. This custard like dish "slips down easily" for the sick boy. Pretty good guesses for the spelling; Its pronounced more like "Bla manjh (with a swallowed c and a soft g sound on the end.)

[@kayerin5749]

It's hard to take some of this theatrical gung ho. Easy on there!

[@trevorrandom]

I love Jelly!

[@dannettepeters1507]

Somehow, I prefer the simple elegance and relevant sophistication of the Ingalls family on Little House on the Prairie.

[@kayerin5749]

Which as many historians will tell you is a highly glossed over version of real life on the prairie, no matter how charming and pleasant.

[@dannettepeters1507]

@@kayerin5749 Yes, but no more a fiction, to me; than the life of royalty.

[@janiehelms4895]

TL your right lol but what a mess to explore

[@kentonge1812]

Victoria ?

[@meeeka]

I find the antiques guy painful.

[@rupertprawnworthy758]

Then use more lube next time.

[@popazz1]

Having visited the Pavilion many years back I can say I wasn't overly impressed. It was gaudy and tacky, rather painful on the eyes ..... but the perfect representation of the man who had it built. An enjoyable series though and Tim and Rosemary are the ideal hosts.

[@nflux2971]

Ughh,, you're a bore

[@alfredstevens5276]

They’re a trio of absurd Wodehouse or Firbank characters.

[@geardtwo]

The content is fascinating, but that guy chef's voice is just such an unpleasant drawl and a half....

[@poetryjones7946]

I don't mind his actual voice so much, but his presentation and mannerisms are so contrived/stagey - I'm American & watch British documentaries to get away from that. LOVE Ivan Day!!!!! I wish he'd do a series of hour long food history docs! I could watch/listen to him for hours 👍🏼

[@kayleigh35]

The pavilion looks amazing during 🏳️‍🌈

[@anncollins1216]

jayant, you are so unkind.

[@tlhi8140]

Not to be unkind but this place is a hot mess of a nightmare!

[@nflux2971]

That's not unkind at all,, but you do seem boring!

[@geardtwo]

The pavilion is a hideous hybrid experiment that is an insult to both western and eastern architecture. It just didn't work, it looks like a cheap vegas hotel.

[@suzannesadiiqa]

Maybe but it is huge fun too in my book...........

[@ColumRogers]

I agree. A seriously hideous and tacky building... Just like George IV himself.

[@andrewwyatt1784]

I can just remember it before they renovated it over 30 years ago..it was a crumbling half ruin, and actually more appealing like that!

[@aacmove]

How sad to have no appreciation for fantasy. Buildings like this will never exist again. Maybe you prefer the pastiche that is Disney.

Precursor of so many Oriental Restaurants in High Streets across the land.
