  1. The Rebellion


    Cinema
  2. A behind-the-scenes photograph from a TV production, likely from the 1970s or 1980s based on the film equipment and overall aesthetic. The scene shows actors in period costume - what appears to be Victorian or Edwardian era clothing - standing outside a Georgian-style building with the number "165" visible above the door. The costumes suggest this might be from a period drama or historical film. There's a woman in a maid's uniform with a white cap, men in formal Victorian attire including one in what looks like a naval uniform, and others in period-appropriate clothing.
