This is a comprehensive and entertaining overview of Victorian England. I love Allitt's dry and chatty delivery style. While I wish there was more material about the colonial experience, Allitt has 18 lectures dedicated to it in his lecture series Rise and Fall of the British Empire.
Survey of Britain in the 19th Century. Not much new from what I already knew, but a refresher is always a good thing.
