BETWEEN the Beeb’s Black Narcissus and Netflix’s Bridgerton, we’ve had some saucy period dramas over the holidays.
Now Channel 4’s The Great will make it a cheeky hat-trick, with a satirical retelling of how Catherine the Great rose to rule Russia in the 18th Century.
Starting on Sunday at 9pm, it features Nicholas Hoult as Emperor Peter bonking his way through a palace of courtesans.
Catherine played by Elle Fanning, marries him and sets about trying to outwit her sex-mad husband.
