Based on Stella Tillyard's bestseller that "made history sexy again" (London Sunday Times), this encore presentation of Aristocrats tells the true story of the bewitching Lennox sisters: Caroline, Emily, Louisa, and Sarah. Great-granddaughters of King Charles II and his French mistress, they live up to their mixed heritage by tempting scandal with their unconventional ideas and daring affairs.
A sweeping saga of a noble family's disgrace and fall, spanning two generations, Aristocrats is a dazzling adaptation, an acclaimed family chronicle set against the spectacular backdrop of palaces, country estates and ballrooms of eighteenth-century England and Ireland.

Another fantastic BBC period drama , well-acted and thoroughly absorbing with a cheeky peak at the sexy antics and arrogance of the aristocratic classes during this period. Not as seminal as the Beeb,s adaption of BLEAK HOUSE but well worth the watch !
