Fun Facts
- The Forty Elephants gang was a real all-female crime syndicate in London. The show’s historical advisors ensured authenticity in costumes, slang, and criminal tactics, while still dramatizing events for television.
- Victorian attire was heavy and restrictive. Actors often joked about the difficulty of performing fight choreography while wearing layers of wool and leather.
