The making of the Scarlet Pimpernel : the official companion to the BBC series

Before Superman, Zorro and the Saint, Baroness Orczy's Scarlet Pimpernel was the original double agent.

The 3 X 90 minute episodes by the BBC will give the Pimpernel a nineties makeover with pace, style and production values to match the latest thriller.

It stars hearthrob and now bestselling author, Richard E.

Grant and Elizabeth McGovern. Interviews with the producer and the main cast, combined with a complete script of the series will produce an invaluable guide to this James Bond of the French Revolution.
