Aargh! Why does it have to be the Tudor monarchs _again_? Please, TV commisioners, find another lot for the costume drama department to feed upon. On the other hand, it does have Jeremy Northam (who I saw on stage in Old Times in a production a small proportion of the audience may have gone to see for the play, but the majority for one or more of Northam, Helen McCrory, and Gina McKee).
