Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
There will forever be just two words that come to
this author's mind the morning after any good party, shock
and delight. All right, there's a new hit show about
the marriage market among a gossiping, promenading exclusive few around

(00:23):
the eighteen teens. Yes, I'm talking about Shondaland's latest blessing
upon us, Bridgerton, the glittering fantasy set in regency England
that checks all the boxes. I'm Gabrielle Collins, and I
live for the art effect. That is, I'm a period
drama freak like you. I was thinking to myself, thank

(00:48):
you Bridgerton cast and crew for prancing all over the
intersection of history and fantasy. I also wondered how many
sets did these people build? Well, I'm taking you inside
the fullness of life behind the scenes. The show's brilliant
creators are giving us an all access peak. Okay, this

(01:12):
is between you and me, John, Don't say it, don't
say it, all right, say it. Think of me as
your curious guide to the world of Bridgerton, and I'm
bringing along my highly esteemed co hosts, researcher Annabel Hood,
season one writer Jess Brownell and historian doctor Hannah Gregg. Together.

(01:35):
We're scotch reeling you through conversations about the whigs and costumes.
Daphanie is the only one that her costume design really
is about the elegance of simplicity. The production design we
went old school and we got two scene cartists and
who painted the backings for us by hand. The glorious

(01:57):
grandiloquence of it all. I swoon. Can you imagine when
he looks into your eyes and then he dips you?
I can't even say the words that I want to say.
Quite frankly hilarious mishaps from behind the scenes, and at
one point we just heard this sort of ripping sound
and Jonathan went, yep, I think there's just been a
wardrobe malfunction. No mercy for those trousers. And we're also

(02:22):
going to talk to some of the incredibly talented cast,
like the actress who brings Kane toting boss Lady Danbury
to life, Adua and Doe. I sharpened my wit to
my wardrobe and my eye, and I made myself the
most terrifying creature in any room I entered. Will even
hear from the book series author Julia Quinn, these dukes

(02:46):
are all like in their late twenties early thirties. Almost
all of them were unmarried, ripped, really good looking, and
none of them have said us, join us. Hear how
Shonda Land reimagined agency romance in the way only Shanta Land.
Could they have told us what it is truly like. However,

(03:07):
would we get anything else done at all? Season one
of Bridgerton, a Shanta Land production in partnership with Netflix,
is available now while you wait for season two. Fall
