BBC Radio 4 Extra - Mary Baker - The American Dentist

When Dr Thomas W Evans moves to France, the course of history changes.

When Dr Thomas W Evans becomes Imperial Court Dentist to Napoleon III, the course of history changes. Stars Colin Stinton.

"I'm part of the great fabric of European history. When books are written about 19th century France, my name will live on in them".
 
Loosely based on Thomas W Evans' Recollections of The Second French Empire, the unlikely tale begins with our tooth-obsessed hero arriving in Paris in 1848.

Here he quickly becomes indispensable to Napoleon III and destined to change the course of history...
