Con-Versailles-Tions

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Thank you for being on this journey with us, Versailles Family. Enjoy the last recording of the podcast, live in Paris.

Fin.

Who would have thought we'd make it this far? Not us. But we're glad we did. Enjoy this bittersweet episode as the boys reflect on their podcast journey.

It always comes with hints of sadness that we have to say farewell one last time to our beloved Tygh as he makes his final appearance on the podcast. The trio get into script complications, George's near death experience & what it means to be a Tyrant in today's world.

He steered the ship successfully for 3 seasons, he's the main man, exec producer Claude Chelli. Not going to lie, George and Alex were nervous about this one.

Not only is having a director on our show the most insightful, but it's just nie to talk to someone who completely back their own work. Ed created some of the most beautiful, cinematic episodes for Versailles, enjoy this gorgeous listen.

Finally we've been joined by true Royalty. In this episode, Elisa dissects her wonderful tour de force performance and shares stories about her preparation in an Ibiza club. 

What an honour to have our most seasoned guest on the podcast for one last hurrah!

The trio play games, laugh and reminisce about this wonderful show called Versailles. Arguably our favourite episode to record ever... although bittersweet, we cannot stop smiling.

George and Alex realised that having a writer on the podcast is actually much more fun than having on a cast member - THE INSIGHTS! THE GOSSIP! I'm sure you'll all agree that Tim's knowledge on what it takes to get a script to screen makes this a truly unforgettable listen!

What better way to commemorate the return of Sophie Clermont's dramatic return back to court than to have on the returning Maddison Jaizani? We tslk costumes, contracts and courtiers. We hope you enjoiy :)

We took a small hiatus, but we're back y'all... George & Alex keep the tradition alive of opening this new season re-watch with just the hosts. WHO NEEDS GUESTS? NOT US. UH UH. Enjoy.

The end of Season 2 rewatch deserved a big send off! Not only did we have Fabian Marchal spilling the gossip but le Chevalier also joined le Roi and Monsieur to share their thoughts on a brilliant season finale.

Get a writer on, and watch the drama unfold. We had such a blast with lead writer of season 2 and 3, Andrew Bampfield. From the cut scenes, to the questions answered, peppered in with a little bit of gossiping. We hope you enjoy!

What better way to celebrate our penultimate episode of Season 2 than with the beautiful Madame Agathe. George, Alex and Suzanne Clement talk costumes, sorcery & how it really felt being burnt at the stake. 

The vibes are full on this episode. George and Alex are joined by the super cool Mark Rendall... Enjoy, listeners, as the trio go fully in on the 'weasel' known as Thomas Beaumont!

We are graced by the presence of William of Orange, the magnificent George Webster. Hosts Alex and George finally get to dissect the "bottleneck episode" & these three friends get to rekindle their bromance.

What a treat we have in store for you today. The beloved Lizzie Brochere joins George & Alex to talk through her progressive character Claudine - we dissect everything from her favourite line of dialogue to her quick exit in season 2 and of course the trio get vulnerable as they talk about mental health on TV sets.

Half way through Season 2 & half way through our podcast journey... so what better way to celebrate this milestone than to have on Louis's right hand man on all things War, Louvois, the incredible Joe Sheridan!

Gardener turned philosophical father figure, the beloved fan-favourite Jacques played wonderfully by Gilly Gilchrist is this episodes guest, We discuss everything from on-screen deaths to how comfortable his prosthetic arm ended up being.

George and Alex welcome the magnificent producer Aude Albano to talk about all the ins and outs from a producer's perspective on what it takes to get VERSAILLES on the screen.

He needs no introduction so we didn't give him one. The Chevalier, Evan Williams returns to CVT. He wasn't technically scheduled for this episode but we brought him on anyway. Enjoy Evan and the boys getting down and dirty on all things Versailles season 2 episode 2.

The brothers of Versailles finally realise they are enough and kick off Season 2 with a bang, breaking down the creative decisions, new sets and what it feels to come back to a character that now everyone loves.

We talked about him in every episode, he was the guiding light for all things historical... George & Alex are so pleased to share this chat with the MVP of our show, historical consultant Mathieu da Vinha.

The Brothers of Versailles are here to answer your questions - George and Alex discuss etiquette, death scenes, signatures, accents, music, and Alex surprises George with a creative idea.

What. A. Season. Finale. Thank you to those Con-Versailles-Tions listeners who joined us live online. Please enjoy George, Alex and Noemie rekindling their love triangle again. 

Ladies and gentlemen, Amira Casar, Beatrice Madame de Clermont joins George and Alex for a wonderful chat about spies, the Rebel Conspirators, diplomacy, passion and ultimately playing a mother who seeks to secure a future for her daughter at Court.

The Rundog, Fabien Marchal, Tygh himself shares stories and nostalgia with hosts George & Alex. This episode feels like a warm hug, enjoy!

Thomas Vincent directed six episodes of Versailles including George and Alex's favourite, episode 7 of season 1. Thomas shares jaw-dropping insights into the production side of things and the three of them discuss the magic particularly of filming season 1 with a young international cast in France.

George and Alex welcome Maddison Jaizani to the podcast to talk all things Sophie, the only female fictional character who is in almost every episode of Versailles. Maddie shares memories of Versailles being her first big job as well as Sophie's character arc and working alongside Amira Casar and Tygh Runyan. [We apologise for the change in our guest's audio quality in the second half of this episode.]

The Chevalier himself joins us for the halfway mark on this rewatch podcast. Evan Williams dishes the dirt on his casting, memories on set and the partnership he had with co-host Alexander Vlahos, as the wonderful duo MonChevy.

Mesdames et Messieurs, Sarah Winter joins George and Alex to talk all things Louise de La Vallière and how she approached playing this very pious and soft-spoken Duchess, Louis XIV's first official mistress. Recapping episode 4 of Versailles, the trio enjoy each other's behind-the-scenes anecdotes and share goosebumps moments as they recall some of the iconic dying scenes in season 1.
