Strange. I’ve been watching old movies from that time all last week. ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS (two versions) and several others.

I still remember when the PBS broadcast THE WIVES OF HENRY VIII almost forty seven years ago.

[mware]

If you have cable, I recommend Wolf’s Hall, about Thomas Cromwell. Not as sexual or graphic as the Tutors.

[magna carta]

Wolf Hall on PBS Masterpiece lays out the full life of T. Cromwell based on a work of fiction by Hillary something. Watched season one- two is pending. It’s pretty good.

The Wolf Hall trilogy by Hillary Mantell brings this to life in an exceptional manner. After the first two books, then see the series from Masterpiece which has a great portrayal by Mark Rylance.

That series (Wives) had a big affect on me. Just googled it. Keith Michell was Australian?

I remember the PBS broadcasts too.

Have watched some of The Tudor on net flicks(?) Very silly show, but the do throw some facts in on occasion.
