Channel 5.5 4th Season

At the palace of Versailles, Oscar François de Jarjayes carries the dignity and responsibilities expected of the commander of the royal guards, but the people around her have a remarkable talent for turning noble affairs into complete nonsense. Courtly etiquette, aristocratic pride, and the drama surrounding Marie Antoinette repeatedly collapse into ridiculous misunderstandings.

Oscar tries to preserve some measure of order as familiar figures from the French court behave in increasingly outrageous ways, transforming grand historical conflicts into a rapid succession of irreverent jokes.
