  • Title: Almost Complete History Of The Twentieth Century The Importance Of Being Windsor
  • Date: 6th October 1993
  • Summary: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING WINDSOR The series that targets (with satirical comment and re-voiced archive film) those aspects of 20th century history that haven't always made the history books tonight examines - with all due irreverence - the happy Royal families formula. Like much else of what we now associate with the 'traditional' image of the Royal heritage, this notion of marital and family bliss was a modern and carefully manufactured concept, principally devised by a top-notch specialist in regal promotion - Lord Esher. A heavily marketed fairy-tale, but one which, as the myth ultimately closed in on itself, failed to deliver the requisite happy ending.
