Let Them Eat Cake is a British sitcom that aired on BBC One in 1999. Starring Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, it is one of the few programmes in which French and Saunders have appeared which they did not create themselves.
It is 1782, seven years before the French Revolution. The most reviled woman in France is the ambitious and immoral Colombine, Comtesse de Vache, who stalks the halls of the Palace of Versailles, spreading terror into the hearts of her fellow aristocrats by gathering their darkest and most intimate secrets. Her loyal maid is the nymphomaniacal, former prostitute Lisette and her acid-tongued manservant is Bouffant. Colombine's constant rival is Madame de Plonge, along with her naive yet sharp-witted daughter, Eveline.
Let Them Eat Cake was released in Region 2 (UK) on 5 March 2007. It is also available in Region 4 (Australia).
