#elspet gray

This medieval headdress was first worn by Elspet Gray as The Queen in the first series of Blackadder in 1983 in the episode The Queen of Spain’s Beard. It appears to have undergone some alterations for use on Caroline Blakiston as Angela Hartley in the 2005 episode of Midsomer Murders entitled Bantling Boy.

It’s difficult to tell if this is indeed the same piece. The film quality and lighting quality between both productions varies heavily, and clearly alterations have been made for Midsomer Murders. That being said, enough details remain consistent to assume that these are the same.
