Rather like the way i discoverred The Walking Dead just by chance, and immediately knew that i loved it, i discovered something new and great last night, just by chance of having the tv on the right channel at 1am.
It's called Versailles, the first episode will be on i-player until 9.30 pm this Friday evening.
Im not sure how much to say, to try to generate some interest, without giving too much away.
It's set in 1667, in the age of great violence of swords and muskets and absoluetly rampant sexuality, and that's just for starers with the king and his brother fucking each others wives, as well as each other! I wont mention any more about who the women sleep with, for spoiler sake. The king and his brother are absolutely beautiful, kind of like a young paul newman, clint eastwodd, or keanu reaves in the beautiful men department, the king should definitely shave his stupid 'tache though, he'd be far more stunning without that, and although im not even bi, id find it difficult to resist if any of them ever hit on me, so to speak.
I love the bloodthirstyness, and the ruthlessness of the kings courtiers and guards, along with the deadpan dry humor; "Welcome to Versaiiles" says one of the Kings main protectors as he spears an aspiring Assasin through the stomach with a huge sword, and in the pissing rain then rubs the guys face in the mud with his boot for good measure, presumably just to make sure that he is 100% dead. %) It's so well made, with the setting and costumes and all being totally convincing.
The palace of Versailles was actually a hunting lodge in the middle of the woods in 1667, even then it was as grand as fuck. Some hunting lodge!! The king has a grand vision for the lodge, and although most of his 'noblemen' probably think he's competely mad (the war and tax situation are both very bad for the French royals at that particular time, their coffers are effectively dry) time has proved Louis the XIV's vision correct. I'd love to visit one day. Its a staggeringly beautiful building inside and out, and the grounds are incredible too.
Anyway, what else to say? The characters are rich and duplicitous, hardly any of the 'noble courtiers' can be trusted. The tax evaders and collectors are spending all their taxes in whore houses, its not as if they cant afford to pay their taxes. The king is definitely not mad, although possibly wildly eccentric, fucking his sister in law without any effort at secrecy, and going on hunting trips alone for example, when it is known by everyone that the whole area is crawling with people sent to murder him, i think history proves that iirc from school. Also his whole plan for the "palace" he wants rivers moved to create huge lakes in the grounds, no surprise many seem to think him bonkers, although i repeat that im pretty usre he isnt, and isnt half as daft and crazy as he may seem initially.
This is no fuckin tame shit watered down Downton Abbey, its violent and sexual as fuck. I'd like to acquire some kind of 'bodice ripping heaving boosoms porno' after seeing this.
Does anyone make such elaborate pornos any more? 
It takes a while to place all the names to the faces, in fact i was only half way there by the end of the epiosde. Highly reccomend, 10/10; a great high budget and high production values effort by the Beeb, like Peaky Blinders it looks so good it could have been a high budget film. I'd better not say anymore or im liable to give some important spolier away. I hope i have managed not to do that.

Ill give that one a go cheers MDB.
I watched the first episode of 'The living and the dead' (A brilliant young couple inherit the farm and are determined to start a new life together. But their presence in this isolated corner of England starts to unleash strange, unsettling and dangerous supernatural phenomena that will start to threaten their marriage.)
Quite interesting but hard to say anything about it without spoiling it.

Is this a subtle way of 'coming out' MDB?

Ha, no it's not guys. I'd just say it, if i was LGBT in any way. I'm 99% confident that EADD as a whole would barely bat an eye lid.
I hope as many people as possible watch this series, you will not regret it!
The producers were so confident they had something great on their hands that they started planning and working on season 2 almost immediately iirc what i read about it the other day!

No worries Bear.
Have you downloaded them? As the first episode expires on i-player at 10:30 pm tonight, I'm not sure if that means that's the start time or end time though, its not very clear on i-player, i don't usually leave anything until that late a last minute if i want to watch it.

It's what the BBC use in the UK as a catch up and live streaming service.
It used to be shockingly slow, just a couple of years ago, when trying to watch it through the TV, and would 'buffer' forever, but thankfully my current ISP is way better, otherwise i'd have the faff of connecting my PC to my TV every time that i needed to catch up on anything I'd missed.

Versailles Soundtrack - Opening Credits (Official Serie Version) Suitably epic. I thought it was MGMT at first, but it's not, the band is M83. It's almost too good for opening credits music, but it will probably get replayed often at appropriate times.
- some indication of what lies ahead SPOILER ALERT!! Dont watch it beyond 01:00

Cheers, yep it's really good, i love the opening title theme music, it's awesome.
It is really good, we watched the first few and wanted to watch the rest of the season straight away.

Not sure if there's 6 or ten episodes to the first season, ive read both figures mentioned. Unfortunately the 2nd season is anticipated to take at least 4 years (from Jan 16) to complete. Thats quite staggering, they must be really wanting to make it very high quality. i wonder how long it took them to make the 1st season.
