Marie Antoinette

Don your best wig to watch the traumas and triumphs of the frightened, homesick Austrian teenager destined to be the Queen of France. Lost at first in the lavish, complicated court life at Versailles, Marie Antoinette gradually finds her way through the mine fields of French etiquette, royal rivalries and entrenched mistresses. But how can she conceive an heir if her husband doesn’t even talk to her? A “hugely entertaining” (The Guardian) and “extravagant tapestry” (TV Weekend) starring Emilia Schüle (Treadstone, Berlin Station) and Louis Cunningham (Bridgerton) as the couple in a golden cage. Gloriously filmed on site at Versailles and Fontainebleau. Eight episodes. 6 3⁄4 hours on 2 Discs SDH
