King Louis XV is the king before the one who gets his head chopped off. He seems to have things running sweetly. He has a wife and a mistress and a kingdom. He also has a problem with clockwork monsters trying to destroy his cosy world. Louis seems slightly ineffectual when faced by these creatures from the unknown and later by a ‘Lord of Time’ who considers himself superior to a mere king of France – as he well might. Later, when he and The Doctor meet again on the day of Reinette’s death, they find they have one thing in common – both loved her.
