Napoleon and Love – 1972

Only nine episodes were ever made, but it remains in the minds of people who loved a good drama in the 1970s. The last episode was transmitted in April 1974.
Sir Ian Holm was the star, and later he went from being Napoleon to be in the film Alien. He also appeared in Jesus Of Nazareth, Young Winston and in the BBC series The Lost Boys.

Geoffrey Bayldon who played the Prince was of course Catweazle too.
