VIDEO : 2.5 Million Tune in for Natalie Dormer's 'The Scandalous Lady W'

About 2.5 million viewers tuned in Monday night to see Natalie Dormer's television movie The Scandalous Lady W on the BBC. A BBC synopsis says that the 18th century-set drama chronicles the real life of Lady Seymour Worsley, "who dared to leave her husband and elope with his best friend, Captain George Bisset." Co-starring Aneurin Barnard, the telepicture was penned by David Eldridge and based on Hallie Rubenhold's book, Lady Worsley's Whim, which was inspired by the full-length oil painting of Lady Worsley that hangs in Harewood House in Yorkshire. Dormer is known for her roles in the TV shows Game of Thrones and Elementary, as well as in The Hunger Games film franchise.
