Covering the life of a young King Louis XIV. A bit Downton Abbey meets Game of Thrones maybe? I await with interest.

  2. Apparently also a bit raunchy- lots of rumpy - pumpy so a recent article in one of my wifes magazines said...... of course chaps like us will only be watching for the HISTORICAL ACCURACY ...

  3. They've already got the uniforms of the Gardes Francais wrong as they wore grey until 1685. I'm sure the rumpy-pumpy will be historically correct ;-)

  4. The Daily Mail has been getting in a right old tizz about the sex and violence and one MP (who no doubt hasn't seen it) has been "appalled" that the BBC has bought this. The French, of course, being a more grown up nation, have given the DVD set the equivalent of a 'U' certificate! What really concerned the French was that it was made in English!

  5. But according to Paxman French is a dead language...... but then you'd expect the Daily Fascist to get in a tizz... about virtually anything
