Victoria

Jenna Coleman was allowed to read Queen Victoria's diaries as research. Parts of the diaries were removed upon the Queen's instruction shortly after her death.

The Duchess of Sutherland is inaccurately depicted as carrying on an romance with prince (later duke) Ernest of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who is also inaccurately depicted as being unmarried at the time. Harriet Sutherland had a famously happy marriage with the Duke of Sutherland and they had these 11 children.

Series 1: PBS Masterpiece broadcasts add on average 5 minutes of additional footage per episode not shown in the ITV broadcasts. The exception to this are the first two episodes of Series 1 which for PBS airing were edited together to form a single feature-length episode for a two-hour timeslot; the edited version removes several minutes of footage from these episodes (including the original closing moments of episode 1). The North American DVD/Blu-ray release of Series 1 is the ITV version and thus does not include the extra footage seen on PBS. Also, the ITV broadcasts/DVD release indicate episode numbers in the opening credits alongside episode titles; this is not shown on PBS.
