Shonda Rhimes' take on 1813 high society London has made its mark as a cinematic cultural reset. With diverse casting to Regency covers of modern pop music - Bridgerton brings 'history' into the 21st century. Andrea Arhagba chats with historian Abaka Debrah about performance diversity in historical drama, the epic fashion rivalry of the Bridgertons vs the Featheringtons, Regencycore on the high street, and THAT Lady Whistledown reveal.
