The Tudors - Series 2

The second series of The Tudors started on BBC 2 last Friday. For the initiated, the series is a dramatisation of the lives of the Tudor ruling dynasty, focussing on Henry VIII. It has come in for some criticism for being silly and inaccurate (this is true), but it's good fun - think an intellectual soap opera -  and well worth a look if you are a fan of historical drama.

Series 2 starts with Henry being made head of the Church of England and about to marry Anne Boleyn. You can catch the first episode on BBC iPlayer for the next few days.
