Victoria season 2 episode 7 live stream: Watch Comfort & Joy online
If you just didn’t get enough of Christmas back in December, you’re in luck: PBS is airing Victoria’s holiday special tonight.
Victoria‘s regular season ended last week with “The Luxury of Conscience,” but thanks to the idiosyncrasies of British TV, we still get a whole additional hour with Victoria, Albert, and friends. And at Christmastime, no less!
Based on “Comfort & Joy’s” promo, it’s unlikely that the Victoria Christmas special will follow in the footsteps of my personal favorite holiday episode. Instead, it appears that the installment will be all warm and gooey: Albert goes overboard with the holiday spirit, Victoria teaches a young girl to build a snowman, and Penge redeems himself in true Scrooge/Grinch fashion.
Here is the episode description for “Comfort & Joy,” courtesy of PBS:
"It’s Christmastime at the palace and Albert is intent on recreating the holiday joy he remembers from his youth. Victoria gets more than one surprise visitor and finds herself threatened by a relative. Meanwhile, the festive spirit sparks romantic tension throughout the palace."
What romantic tension, you ask? The doomed romance between Ernest and Harriet, the probably-supposed-to-be-interesting connection Francatelli and Skerrett share and Wilhelmina’s unrequited love for Lord Alfred, who is likely still mourning Drummond.
So, as cheerful and heart-warming as “Comfort & Joy” promises to be, the various love triangles will (hopefully) prevent it from crossing into treacle territory — the sentiment, I mean, not the dessert. Any British Christmas celebration is sure to have that.
Here are the details on where to watch:
