Best Answer

Period dramas are dramas set in a certain time in history that requires elaborate costume and sets eg 1600s or the Victorian era. A historical drama is based on a significant historic event such as the battle of bannockburn. Period dramas tend to have original characters sometimes bringing in some characters from history, however historical dramas are mainly real historical figures with some original characters. See Downton Abbey as period drama as these characters were not real people, and although storyline is extremely historically inaccurate, Reign would be an example of a historical drama as Mary Queen of Scots and other characters were real historical figures.
