Episode 7: Affairs
Affairs by Lavinia Murray inspired by Zola's Rougon-Maquart series. Dide's great grand-son Octave has come to Paris to find his fortune preferably through his affairs with women.

Affairs by Lavinia Murray
Double Oscar winning actress Glenda Jackson, and Alison Steadman lead this gloriously mischievous episode. Unusual for Zola, this is comedic and fun. Dide follows her great-grand-son as he journeys to Paris to find his fortune. Octave Mouret, ambitious and a ladies man, moves into an apartment block where there are female delights, it seems, on each floor.
