I was watching "Lucy Worsley's Royal Myths and Secrets" last night on PBS (US) on Marie Antoinette. I was surprised that she was trying to make it that the French have whitewashed the terror out of their histories. A doubtful proposition (more likely the British have whitewashed their own experience with cutting off a King's head). She also made it that the support for the American Revolution bankrupt France. True up to a point, but France was already in dire financial shape from at least the time of Louis XIV. Help the American rebels didn't help though. I believe you can watch the program if you go to the PBS website.

It is just the way history on TV is going. Granted, it is not as bad as the decline of the Hitler Channel to its current programming, but it is a result of the wimmin coming in, but avoiding too much work. They make beeline for the Tudors, where there isn’t that much material beyond the state papers, or royal stories to finish up as “royal experts” spouting superficial tripe about the current family for cash (erm, cough, Kate Williams). Worsley likes dressing up, so they have expanded her scope to anything easy involving said dressing up. They have been playing the The equality card, it several go for the dolly bird bird approach. So, they just repeat the same tired old stuff with the usual agendas - the output on Henry VIII’s wives makes Waterloo look superficially covered. I have even seen that Ash somebody, who is a leftie activist, on historical programmes (woman and ethnic, so double tick).
It is also bad for able women historians, such as Time Team’s Carenza Lewis and Raksha Dave, who are good at their job, but don’t want to get involved the superficial nonsense. The days of AJP Taylor and Michael Wood are long gone now.
So, these progs are just full of superficial generalisations, often based on national stereotypes. The Yanks do not mention French support, without which they may well have lost any more than equality not extending beyond white male landowners.
I can safely say that the English Civil War, and the execution of Charles I is not whitewashed out of British history - it's seen as a fundamental element of the curriculum. Less so the French Revolution, sadly.
