They may be a wardrobe stable for period dramas, but the BBC has decided to stop leading men wearing tights in its new flagship drama over a fear they may be "distracting". The Daily Telegraph reports that costume designers for The White Queen, a story of the battles between the House of York and the House of Lancaster in 15th century England, want their male characters to appear "masculine". According to production notes released ahead of broadcast, the designers thought "these days tights are associated with Robin Hood movies and bad jokes." Is nothing sacred?
