Versaille… and St Andrews
To celebrate the 300th anniversary of Louis XIV’s death in 1715, the French television channel Canal Plus commissioned 'Versailles', a ten-part drama on the Sun King and the great palace with which he is most associated. The first episode on BBC2 was transmitted on Wednesday 1 June, after a good deal of advance billing that generated high expectations of lust, violence and intrigue.
