Victoria on Masterpiece

Sun. Mar. 5 at 9pm on WKAR-HD 23.1 | In episode 7, on the verge of delivering her first child, Victoria spurns advice and ventures among her subjects, attracting the devoted and demented alike.
Miss Skerrett and Francatelli reach their decisive moment.

The eight-hour drama follows Victoria (Jenna Coleman) from the time she becomes Queen in 1837 at the age of 18 through her relationship with Lord Melbourne (Rufus Sewell), her first prime minister and intimate friend, and her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert (Tom Hughes). Famous for her candor and spirit, she was the first woman who seemed to have it all: a passionate marriage, nine children and the job of being queen of the world’s most important nation. Her often tumultuous reign lasted for 63 years.
