About Let Them Eat Cake

Let Them Eat Cake ended on October 14, 1999, on BBC One. The series was a comedy set mostly in and around the Palace of Versailles in the year 1782. It followed the intrigues of Colombine, the Comtesse de Vache, who was regarded as one of the most dangerous women in the court of King Louis XVI. With the help of her loyal servant Lisette, she uncovered many dark secrets of the aristocracy. Meanwhile, her couturier Bouffant struggled to keep her and her figure at the forefront of 18th-century French fashion. This show was a humorous portrayal of historical court life, blending satire with period drama. It was first broadcast in September 1999 and concluded its run in October of the same year, with a total of six episodes in its only season. The cast included Jennifer Saunders as Colombine, Dawn French as Lisette, Adrian Scarborough as Bouffant, Alison Steadman as Madame de Plonge, Lucy Punch as Eveline de Plonge, and Elizabeth Berrington as Marie Antoinette.
