The Edwardians is an eight-part British mini-series from 1972 that looks at nine influential personalities from the ‘Belle Epoque’ period in British history. The DVD explores the lives of some who helped define this era, the inventors, artists, writers, performers, soldiers, politicians who would shape a nation in their own fields, in their own lifetime, in their own way. We have a copy of The Edwardians to give away to three lucky readers who sends a correct answer to the following question to fhm@metropolis.co.uk by 4th March.
