The creator of Vikings in official competition, the new Queen Elizabeth and Stéphane Bern to decipher the royal series.
Billy the Kid attracts crowds
He is used to success. After The Tudors and vikings, Michael Hirst unveiled to festival-goers, a month before its launch in the USA, his new historical series, in the heart of the Wild West. As expected, it sold out and will be one of the serious contenders for the final victory in international competition.
