Sometimes our addiction for period dramas is not really understood by our family, friends or even our collegues. What is about those boring costume series and movies that seem so interesting to us, they seem to think. During this 2nd birthday celebration, in honor of all proud period drama freaks like us, we decided to create a little quiz to revisit some of Lights, Camera…History! team favorite series and movies.

Have fun!

Done it! I was “just” very good (8/10). Thanks for the lovely quiz. I’ve put my plaque on my blog column.

It’s fun isn’t it? You’ll just have to watch all those movies and series again and come back to do it one more time. :-)
