Snowshoe Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) The series of the Tudors has just finished on BBC2 here in the uk. this is a first class drama, I think it is on showtime network in the usa. for any one that has missed this fab series i would urge you to look out for the re-runs. Its pure class, it tells the story of Henry VIII, its gritty very well acted the custumes and sets are amazing. Its also not some thing for children to watch due to nudity, volence and adult content. (Part gripping historical fiction, part sex-and-drama-fueled soap, The Tudors provides nonstop entertainment, offering readers a modern perspective on a story that still resonates and fascinates today.) JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS plays Henry SAM NEILL plays Cardinal Thomas Wolsey JEREMY NORTHAM plays Sir Thomas Moore Just to name a few. here a link to the site for more info http://www.sho.com/site/tudors/home.do And yes JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS is so hot Edited December 7, 2007 by Snowshoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Actually it was Henry VIII. He established the church of England, because the popes excersised too much control over the monarchy (also the pope wouldnt let him annul one of his marriages). Henry VIII and one of his offspring Elizabeth I were amongst the greatest and most influential monarchs in English history. They were Tudors, for those of you interested in finding out more about them look here http://www.tudorhistory.org/ Also the film Elizabeth is a good flic about some of the goings on in that era (although I won't vouch for its accuracy) http://imdb.com/title/tt0127536/ see a couple of trailers here http://movie-list.com/trailers.php?id=elizabeth Thanks for the post Snowshoe.
