WPBS-TV’s CINEMA SIX HOSTS “VICTORIA” SCREENING AT JEFFERSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

November 8, 2016 Watertown, NY – WPBS is pleased to bring our broadcast community, the premiere of Masterpiece’s Victoria.  Join us for the third installment of Cinema 6, as we screen the new highly anticipated drama, Victoria, Thursday, December 8th at 6pm at the Jefferson County Historical Society, Watertown, NY.  The screening will feature the first hour of episode one and is free and open to the public, light refreshments will be provided.

Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who) stars as the young Victoria, a tiny (4’11”), neglected teenager who overnight became Queen and eventually the most powerful woman in the world. The eight-part drama follows Victoria from the time she becomes Queen in 1837 at the age of 18, through her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert. Famous for her candor and spirit, she was the first woman who seemed to have it all: a passionate marriage, nine children, and the job of being Queen of the world’s most important nation. Victoria’s often tumultuous reign lasted for 63 years; she was England’s longest-serving monarch until she was overtaken by Elizabeth II in September, 2015.

Victoria, will premiere on MASTERPIECE on WPBS-TV, January 15th, 2017 at 9pm.
