Bridgerton's first series romped to the top of the viewing charts, mainly thanks to the hot and steamy love affair between Daphne Bridgerton and the mysterious Duke of Hastings.

Whether it's Henry VIII's power struggles, passion and plotting in The Tudors, Victoria showing us the all-too-human side of Queen Victoria or The Crown revealing its versions of the Royal Family's goings-on during the reign of the late Queen Elizabeth II, we can't resist a look behind the scenes at the Royal Court.
