Over Christmas a new drama serial is due to start on BBC in the UK about Marie Antoinette. I don't know yet whether her whole life will be covered in this serial of 8 programmes/episodes I think it is. It might go into a second series. One would think the revolution, her arrest and final execution may be covered eventually. Let's hope it's better than the film they made in 2005 which produced nothing. Does anyone know any more information about this series yet?

 

Unfortunately it does not look like it will cover the revolution

See the Canal+ site, this is a translation of episode 8

Episode 8

Queen of Hearts

Available. more than 3 months

Louis gains confidence in his role as king. He now supports the American Revolutionary War. For her part, Marie-Antoinette spent her time at the Petit Trianon where she fell in love with a familiar face: Count Axel de Fersen.

okay thanks for that information. Guess it looks like we'll have to wait a lot longer - and for a second series for anything of interest for us in the execution final scene. Never mind.
