  • History presented in a contentious way

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    I must admit that I'm not the greatest lover of 'costume' history with re-enactments and dramatisations but I really think that the producers got this just about right. Both my wife and I really enjoyed this series finding that it struck that fine balance between not being too deep or too shallow, and it was enhanced by the superb presenter, David Starkey. I suspect that historians will be sniffy and dismissive of this populist method of presentation. I would liken it to Classic FM vs. Radio 3. The purists see it as almost heresy. Properly produced, I see a place for both.

  • A good and informative presentation

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    David Starkey makes a good effort at presenting the information about Henry VIII's six wives. The programmes must have cost a fortune to make as the costumes are excellent.

    I found David's presentation a bit stodgy at times, hence only four stars rather than the five that it deserves.

    Do rent this DVD, you will not be disapointed.
