This is a splendid BBC documentary about Frederick the Great which, if you have one hour spare, is well worth watching. I had always seen Frederick through the prism of his military life, victories as well as defeats, but this puts those elements of his life into the context of the Philosopher King.
If you don't mind I'm going to nick the link and post on my blog. I've a few SYW followers and they'd love this (as will I).
