Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There can be few things more pleasurable than curling up in front of the television set and settling into a good old-fashioned costume drama, and lets face it, the BBC still does it better than anyone else.
There can be few things more pleasurable than curling up in front of the television set and settling into a good old-fashioned costume drama, and lets face it, the BBC still does it better than anyone else.
This time the James Bond of the French Revolution-- The Scarlet Pimpernel--has been given the BBC once-over, and the result is a stunning piece of television with the perfect combination of crackling, edge-of-your-seat entertainment and smatterings of the kind of history lesson you just don't get in school. The Making of The Scarlet Pimpernel goes behind the scenes of the epic drama and talks to the directors, producers and actors about what it took to translate Baroness Orczy's book into an exceptional on-screen experience.
With a capsule history of the French Revolution to set the scene, followed by a potted but totally intriguing biography Baroness Orczy--who in herself is as remarkable as the story she penned-- plus insights into the trials and tribulations of getting such an huge project off the ground, The Making of the Scarlet Pimpernelis a fascinating read in its own right. Plus with a truckload of photographs of the delectable Richard E Grant, looking as smooth and suave and delicious as is possible for a man in tights, this is a great way to recall the swashbuckling moments of a classic BBC series. --Susan Harrison
