Hello and welcome to the podcast for episode 204, Le Dom Blanche.

I'm Ronald D. Moore, executive producer and developer of the Outlander television series,

and I'm joined today by Tony Grafia, who wrote this episode.

Hello, Tony.

Hi.

This will be a fun one.

This is a great episode, and today the Scotch, the whiskey, as they say in Scotland,

is Skappa, a 16-year-old. So, Tony. It's actually, Slauncha. It's actually a Scotch Tony gave me

many years ago at the opening of the Tall Ship offices. Yes, the big party to christened

Tall Ship. Oh, and it's a good one. Oh, it is a good one.

Very nice. So we'll just sit here and drink this and you folks can watch the show at home.

We're watching the credits, and I have to say, I do love my credit. I'm probably more picky about the credits than the other. I love being over the king. And thanks to Mikey O'Hallow and our editor, I believe, who knew how much I would love. Yes, you knew who cared about exactly which one. It's like, I got you a great credit. Yeah, so it's very happy. And I love your ship credit. I'm very happy with the ship credit.

That's awesome.

Well, this episode, for long to, this was always, we talked about this internally as this was the dinner party episode.

This was a key story point in the book that had this pivotal dinner party where a lot of different things happened.

And so in the structure of season two, 204 was always the dinner party where a lot of different things happened. And so in the structure of

season two, 204 was always the dinner party episode. You can imagine how happy I was to get the dinner

party episode. After having the witch trial last year, it was, I was a little dubious about it, but it

turned out to be a really juicy episode.

That exterior shot that we just passed of is a recreation of Versailles.

It's a VFX shot, actually.

Mostly, most of those elements are visual effects.
