The Edwardians (anthology series)

The Edwardians is a television miniseries or anthology series which was produced by the BBC, and first aired on BBC Television in 1972–73. In the United States, the series aired on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre in 1974. Consisting of eight 90 minute episodes, each episode examines a different individual of historical importance from the Edwardian era with one episode being devoted to Henry Royce and Charles Rolls. The figures who have a single episode devoted to each are Horatio Bottomley; E. Nesbit; Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; Robert Baden-Powell; Marie Lloyd; Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick; and David Lloyd George.

Unproduced episode
In 1971 the BBC commissioned the English dramatist Trevor Griffiths to write an episode, titled Such Impossibilities, dramatising the actions of trade unionist Tom Mann during the 1911 Liverpool general transport strike, in which he confronted the armed state. The BBC chose not to produce the script on stated grounds of cost, but more likely having deemed it too Marxist.{{cite book ==Cast==
