BBC America is adapting Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories for TV. Great books, I hope they do them justice.

Thanks for reminding me. I already have it on my "upcoming shows" list.

French and Canadian studios have filmed a new mini-series titled "Versailles." It will be in English, so I'm hoping it will make it to one of the channels in the U.S., Netflix or Amazon eventually. George Blagden who plays Athelstan on History's "Vikings," will play King Louis XIV. Word is they are already in production for the second season of this show. It's supposed to premier on a pay channel in France in November, with distribution to other networks world-wide afterwards. Parts of the series have been filmed at the actual palace.

If this is about The Saxon Tales...great read. Liked it much better than Game of Throne series. If you are interested about 800 ad England and King Alfred, this is a good series.
