Henry VIII has been described as the original host of “Queen for a Day”.
OK, google it, one of the first TV giveaway shows, ancient history. But still a good joke JMHO.
Or check out the 1971 PBS production of “The Six Wives of Henry VII”.
We have that on vhs. It's a treasure. They had some great stuff on tv in those days. I remember seeing a tape of "Search for the Nile" when I was a kid, and now I still look for it occasionally. Haven't found it, but the searching turned up lots of other old gems that are now available. "Captains and the Kings." "Rich Man Poor Man."
And they used to say that tv was a wasteland!
