it's raining men in cravats and waistcoats

A hilarious music video: Period Drama Montage "It's Raining Men" by DreamyViper @YouTube. Fairly decent vidding relying mostly on Austen films, Hornblower, and Wives & Daughters. There's some stuff like North & South that I haven't seen; the absence of Master and Commander struck me forcibly, especially given Hornblower's presence.

But then, even more striking is the extreme lack (in existence, I mean, not in the vid) of other dramas from near the same period as Austen. I want more delicious production design and costumes. Sigh.

Probably (because of the internet's seriously skewed sense of priorities,) the unavailability of DVD rips.

Hmmm, yeah, maybe. They aren't that expensive, but I suppose some people's dvd purchase threshold is higher.
