The Life of an Honest Man

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A five-part series about the career of France's greatest playwright. starring Philippe Caubere Josephine Derenne
1: Growing up in the streets of 17th century Paris was as much an education for Moliere-real name Jean-Baptiste Poquelin - as that provided by an eccentric priest. Destined for his father's upholstery trade, he is allowed first to study law in Orleans - where he is immediately involved in a student riot.
Written and directed by ARIANE MNOUCHKINE
