Secret Life Of...is a cheeky and provocative new biography series on History Television that deliciously dishes dirt on icons of the past. Think Napoleon, Catherine the Great, and Casanova. Then take the visual appeal of Entertainment Tonight, throw in a little Monty Python humour, and subject it all to rigorous historical accuracy. The result? A rare glimpse into the rarified world of the rich, famous and scandalous. Did Henry VIII really please all those wives? Did Napoleon come up short in more ways than one? And how did Marie Antoinette navigate her way to the bathroom?

The Secret Life Of... directed by Michelle Métivier - Stéphanie Reynaud (Red Hot History), teaser.
