New period drama Versailles kicked off last night, and very quickly started trending on Twitter. The drama, starring George Blagden and Alexander Vlahos, was the centre of some controversy before it aired, with certain critics dubbing its sex scenes and violence too graphic for a BBC audience.
But it's fair to say viewers weren't exactly left open mouthed by the show...

Versailles continues on Wednesdays at 9:00pm on BBC2
