VICTORIA Screenings

Sneak peeks in Charleston, Columbia and Hilton Head

The ETV Endowment and South Carolina ETV invite you to a sneak peek at the first hour of the new season of Victoria, one of the highest-rated dramas on PBS in 20 years. It is 1848, and revolution is breaking out across Europe. In Britain, one woman stands between order and chaos: Queen Victoria. Jenna Coleman stars as the young but fearless monarch, facing a crisis that threatens to end her reign.

As Season 3 gets underway, Victoria is pregnant with her sixth child. But she has much else on her mind, chiefly the Revolutions of 1848, when the downtrodden throughout Europe begin agitating for the overthrow of aristocratic rule. As with many crusades, passions are aroused on both sides—sometimes violently. Passion is also an issue in the bedroom at Buckingham Palace, where Victoria is reluctant to risk more pregnancies. Parents now of six, Victoria and Albert find themselves at odds about their offspring, especially the troubled Bertie, the role of the monarchy, and increasingly with each other. VICTORIA-Season 3 premieres on SCETV on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at 9PM.

Explore Borneo

Join the ETV Endowment for this Trip of a Lifetime

Join the ETV Endowment for this trip of a lifetime with Alasdair Clayre, host of five ETV Endowment trips to England, France, Scotland, Italy and the Alps.  Alasdair was born in Borneo and is a member of one of the highland tribes of Sarawak. He earned his MPhil in Anthropology at Cambridge and is currently researching community conservation plans for the highlands.   

Fabled for its mystical mountains and exotic wildlife, headhunting tribes and White Rajahs, the island of Borneo has long fired the imagination of intrepid travelers. It was near Kuching that the adventurer James Brooke landed in 1841 and founded his own country.  Here, too, Alfred Russel Wallace first developed his Sarawak Law, a precursor to the theory of evolution, prompting Darwin to publish.

We will journey through the Malaysian States of Sabah, “The Land below the Wind,” and Sarawak, famed for its indigenous diversity.  Both boast UNESCO World Heritage National Parks.  We will cruise up isolated rivers through pristine mangroves and rainforest, searching for orangutans, pigmy elephants, carnivorous pitcher plants and flying frogs. We will savor oriental delicacies and discover tribal cultures.  We will also visit the vibrant and contrasting cities of Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
