Col and Pen put the world to rights in Bridgerton (Image: Netflix) Bridgerton star reveals he tried to take prop from the set Was there something in the summer air this week? The American streamers were getting a little hot under their starched collars. Bridgerton ( Netflix ) found its racy DNA again with characters slipping out of their crinolines, quite unnecessarily. For some reason, I thought Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlin) would be different from the rest.
Alas no. This pair already had form from part one, enduring what appeared to be a most uncomfortable clinch in Pen’s bumpy carriage. In part two they then visited Colin’s equivalent of a Regency starter home where he imagined they might live after marriage.
Most of the furniture was covered by dust sheets, but hygiene was far from their thinking. After he whispered a few commanding phrases from his much-anticipated Paris travelogue – publisher tbc -- the couple struggled to contain themselves on a well-placed chaise longue. A flustered Colin barely managed to drape himself in a “modesty curtain”.
It only needed a valet to pop his head around the door, and it would have been Carry on...
Colin. This show needs an away day in a local monastery. Meanwhile, Lady Whistledown, the original, may soon be spending more time with her quill than being all-a-quiver.
So another streamer, another suite of sex scenes. We all know America likes a legal drama, too and Presumed Innoce.
