I didn't get to watch it either. Was too busy juggling the last episode of Scott & Bailey, and the Good Wife. Is it worth catching up on? BC XX

Mau I enjoyed Bring up the Bodies and Wolf Hall,
hope tonight's is a good one.

I felt this programme gave a good account of the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell. Any students of Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch of Oxford University must have done well in their exams,he'd be a very good tutor.

Watched it on iplayer this evening.

still maintain that Henry V111 was a mentalist and once he managed to usurp one wife...took it upon himself to do it to another when circumstances didn't fit his expectations............

Yes it appeared Henry liked to have his own way and not just with the ladies.....

As you say a better programme, and agree Henry
certainly liked his own way.

Sorry I didn't get back to you Cherry *smacks wrist*......yes it certainly does make interesting reading and so much intrigue! :-0..........suppose we do feel sympathy for Anne's plight,but by all accounts, she appeared to be a contriving woman who,much like Henry, wanted power.
Just her bad luck that she couldn't provide the king with a legitimate son (if there was such a thing in those days.) ;-)

Yes a very good reminder of what happened to Henry's wives and had to be learnt by heart at school,I was always interested in history lesson.

Many books have been written about the Tudors.A lot of documents/letters have survived,but not all so quite a lot of supposition through the centuries,very good material for historians to get their teeth into :-D
