Reader Reviews Thanks to Dennis Spooner's portrayal of the French Revolution in Reign of Terror, we get to see what a bloodthirsty lot the peasants were. Not being satisfied with simply taking over the government and banishing the aristocracy from France, those animals showed their savagery by guillotining everyone, even innocent woman and children. The Doctor and his group materializes right in the middle of the French Revolution and are immediately captured by peasant soldiers and condemned to death, only to be saved by the real heroes, Jules Renan and his friend Jean, representing the Scarlet Pimpernel. Fortunately, Reign is spared much sadness by not focusing on the executions, but instead on the Doctor's attempts to rescue his captive friends, and then the fall of the Robespierre and rise of Napoleon to power. The ending of Reign is poignant indeed, with the Doctor stating "Our destiny is in the stars." Carry on Doctor. Keep on educating, as well as entertaining, us.
