The Tudors

This is going to pump me up for my bookclub on Sunday- there are few things that I enjoy discussing more than Tudor England!!

I think that Sam Neill is just fantastic in this role- the desperation of Wolsey is really well portrayed.

I still don't feel that they are truly portraying Anne Boleyn accurately- she just looks like a bitchy slut. And while that may have been true she was his top political and policy advisor by this point- she controled everything.

That isn't really how the courtcase went but the point was the same. She was not sitting in the court prior to her speech- they called for her and didn't expect her. Then she marched in and gave her speech to Henry- that part is true.
