There IS something good about this programme

Robespierre.

The Incorruptible is class in a glass.

Ronan Vibert's marvellous portrayal is the main reason I watched all this series.

Apart from Robespierre, I also liked Chauvelin and Monsieur Foumier.

I tend to agree that Margeurite was somewhat miscast, and that many of the female characters were often badly dressed, made up and coiffed.

Talking of which, Robespierre really DID own a cauliflower wig a la Salieri in Peter Shaffer's 'Amadeus'! AND a stripy jacket in that precise colourway.
