    Fantasic

    Have just seen the Tudors on BBC 2 and have one more episode to watch on Friday. I have found the series fantasic, i take my hat off to Johnathan Rhys Meyers and Natalie Dormer for their roles as Henry and Anne Boleyn. Even though some of the storylines do not follow the truth, it still makes good watching if you are a big tudor fan like me.

    A story never loses in the telling...

    I came to this second series of 'The Tudors' slightly jaded after struggling through series one. Being a bit of a Tudor history nut I had really looked forward to the first series but had been frustrated by the makers bizarre & cavalier attitude to historical accuracy - for instance calling Henry's younger sister 'Margaret' simply because 'no one needs two Princess Mary's in one programme' or the marriage of said sister to 'the king of Portugal'...??? Well 'Margaret' married Scotland and Mary married France so where does Portugal come into it??? Anyway I watched series 1 through but really found it a bit tediuous as it plodded it's way through Henry's continuous round of attempts to rid himself of his first wife and make some progress with Anne... So when the second series started I began to watch without much conviction but found I was pleasantly surprised, the makers seem to have learned a few lessons from the first and although they still play fast and loose with time lines and indulge in quite a bit of poetic licence they seem to have got more into their stride when it comes to pacing and the whole thing seems to be a lot more relaxed and far more subtle. And although Henry does frequently descend into foot-stomping cliche the other characters are engaging and the real sense of intrigue is far stronger. The whole series is worth watching if just for the final episode which for the first time displays a genuine feel of responsibility on the part of the makers as it ends with a very sensitive and poignant portrayal of Anne Boleyn's execution (and if you weren't aware of Anne's fate then you're in for a big shock when you see 'Titanic'...) - a truly beautiful sequence and Natalie Dormer's finest moment. Also the running imagery throughout the last episode of Henry watching his two beautiful white swans - one of which he wantonly consumes before the titles roll kind of just says it all really...great entertainment.
