tudors new series

[zzxxee]

I am really enjoying this one, the best so far IMO
anyone else agree/disagree ?

[mike11111]

Disagree, purely on the grounds of historical accuracy. The last episode showed the King slipping Anne of Cleves a quick one after he had divorced her. He found her so physically repulsive that he could not bear to touch her, hence the divorce. The first series showed Cardinal Wolsey committing suicide, which of course he did not.

[zzxxee]

they need a some fake story lines i think to add to the drama, i just think its a jolly good series !

[jno]

the next series will deal with his little-known seventh, eighth and ninth wives.

mike, i did read in a preview that the producers admitted that the facts were not totally accurate.

[mike11111]

It wouldn't surprise me. Unfortunately too may people regard historical dramas as fact in every detail. Some are, but many aren't.

[zzxxee]

and if we are getting picky Henry was never that good looking !!!!

[jno]

he was when he was young, zzxxee. Got very fat later on with a bad leg, but was thought handsome and dashing in his youth.

[mike11111]

Too true. He doesn't seem to have aged in 30 years apart from the obviously affected gammy leg.

[zzxxee]

i have a total crush on MR jonathan R M who plays Henry just gorgeous !!!!

[mike11111]

Play your cards right and you could be wife no. 7, but mind you keep your head about you.

[zzxxee]

lol Mr zzxxee might get jealous having said that i would trade his snoring for Henrys gammy leg !!!!

We all know its historically inaccurate but its enjoyble to watch. I've liked it from the start. I also liked the mini series with Ray Winstone a few years back. He probably looked a lot more like Henry than J R Meyer.

Hos could anyone find Joss Stone physically repulsive beats me...

[zzxxee]

i know shes hardly susan boyle is she !!

[tiggerblue10]

It is odd that she was cast as the alledged ugly one. I personally don't think that Joss Stone is all that attractive but she definitely isn't ugly.

I love the inaccuracy the laugh out loud dialogue the Irish accents not forgetting the costume and scenery slip ups (there really was a concrete bollard the other week)
I love it all and will miss it when it goes
