beaversmom kindly directed me to a YouTube showing of all three episodes. I haven’t watched them yet, but I so enjoy English Monarchy stories.

Is there any English production that does not feature Helena Bonham Carter. She is all over Brit movies, and some American ones. I love her.

Thanks for the information. I’ll be sure to pay attention to PBS...we don’t get BBC4...Hopefully, they’ll be showing more.

"LADY JANE" is, if not Helena's first starring movie role, one of her first ones. Ditto re Cary Elwes. And because of this, it makes the movie far more "real", than when older actors and actresses portray much younger people.

When I was 8, or so, I read a book that my mother had had as a child, called THE KINGS AND QUEENS OF EUROPE. It was a fascinating book and sparked my imagination. So I have studied this topic further, ever since then. And yes, Lady Jane< was in that book.

If you're interested in movies about the Brit Monarchy and would like a list, just drop me a note via FRmail and I'll give you a list of the ones I have seen.
