Favourite character? I like Brandon, the Earl of Sussex. The King's best friend since they were boys - he puts up with a lot!
My missus used to watch it when we lived in the UK. As far as I've been able to learn from her, it's basically an endless stream of sex scenes lightly interspersed with historical references.
yeah soft porn you can watch with the missus!
Good but this season they really need to age the guy who plays Henry so he actually resembles the real appearance.
Anyhow there's usually a few beheadings and stake burnings in each series, which appeals to my views on law & order...

They could age him but what's the point? They've already had old actors playing people who were young, young actors playing people who were old, amalgamated characters, renamed others and have been creative (putting it mildly) with historical events. What is the point in trying to make is historically accurate now?
It's a period romp with plenty of sex and violence with some good looking people. Just enjoy it for what it is a bit of fun. Nothing like a good old fashioned bodice ripper for a bit of fun

An amazing series draws to a close. I am gutted 
4th season?!?!?! W00t...
I liked the first two a lot and thought that was it. How wrong am I?
Shall get on this ASAP as this was a great show.
Incidentally is there some link with Spartacus because I was feeling a similarity between the two. Or maybe they're both just period romps haha

Not sure when it airs in the UK. But the 4th and final Season is finished in the US - watched the last episode last night. It's a 10 episode Season BTW.

Im assuming it will air on bbc2 again? Also the last series was aired a bit different, they put on two episodes at a time from what I remember...
How have I missed this? Been watching the season 4 repeats on Saturday nights - haven't a clue who most of the characters are but by jove it's intense viewing. Last night had the execution of Catherine Howard, her lady-in-waiting and her two lovers (being hanged, drawn and quartered )
Time to get seasons 1-4 on DVD methinks.

Last episode was fairly grisly - loads of executions at the end of the Katherine Howard story. I know it's only special efforts but I thought the hanging, drawing and quartering of Dereham was a bit on the limit for mainstream TV.
Not a good way to go... makes the electric chair look positively humane!
