S1 E2: From The Emperor’s New Clothes to The Little Mermaid – brightly painted automata re-enact the masterful fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen on an eye-catching ride in Denmark’s Tivoli Gardens. It might look cheerful, but, as British historian Andrew Graham-Dixon discovers, Anderson’s fictions are disturbing: tortured lovers, deranged tyrants and the premature death of innocents.
