Wolf Hall
Utter brilliance.. but beware....
turn the lights off.. close the curtains... remove ALL back ground light sources.. this was filmed by real candle and firelight.
It is a tale of politics in a young Henry VIII's reign
It's beautiful and, with only 1 episode gone, it's easy enough to follow, though you might want to spend 5 mins in a school history book to get his wives in the right order ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII_of_England that will help
Damian Lewis, of Homeland and from Easy Company as Richard Winters in Band of Brothers........ is Henry VIII and oh he looks right!!!!
Iplayer is your friend

Re: Wolf Hall
shame such effort has gone into it and yet it's not ... a big name really. Few people I work with have heard of it ..
I am looking forward to No 4 :)

Re: Wolf Hall
Got into it a bit late, and clashes with something else I do on Wednesdays.
Must try and find some time to watch it on iPlayer.
