I've just started watching another French series Disparue which so far seems rather good, not costume drama, of course - quite different. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-90876316367398994122016-05-15T23:16:57.620+01:002016-05-15T23:16:57.620+01:00Then I understand.

It also explains why it was written by British people. As a private, encrypted channel, Canal+ may do what they wish as they wish. When we have - very seldom - costume dramas or miniseries on public channels, they are rather good,but they must be as required by a very selective request.

But the writers are English so we can't blame the French! It's deadly. We're supposed to be having an introduction from Lucy Worsley telling us who's who - but I think people will be switching off in droves. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-16067948760531678392016-05-15T18:12:24.681+01:002016-05-15T18:12:24.681+01:00Are you sure the French have something to do with ...Are you sure the French have something to do with this? From the link you send with the title (Versailles), it seems utterly and totally British. And I have never seen this in France. The French are not keen on costume drama - even about their own history. We mostly have documentaries.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461974174669561409noreply@blogger.com
