I, like many others, have been avidly watching The Hour on BBC2 over the past few weeks. It's fantastic! Set in the mid-50's with the Suez War backdrop, the programme centers around two journalists and their topical current affairs show. It's more or less got everything a good programme should have, intrigue, drama, suspense, a brilliant cast, some gorgeous 50's costumes, and the ever-wonderful Romola Garai!
Romola Garai is fast becoming the queen of the period drama having starred in a number of BBC period drama productions and various films, including: Emma, Crimson Petal and The White, Atonement, Vanity Fair, and (one of my favourites!) Glorious 39...
Glorious 39 is any vintage lovers dream! Romola wears some absolutely amazing dresses and outfits throughout the film, and I LOVE the red beret look below.
