  1. I’m relieved to hear there’s not a ton of sex scenes. I’m so tired of them, I was avoiding this thinking I’d get ten minutes into it and then be irritated. Maybe I’ll watch this after all, it sounds kinda nuts in a fun way.

  2. Managed episode one and thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn’t taking itself too seriously like Bridgerton and the sarcastic voice overs were actually quite funny. It seemed to embrace it’s own absurdity which is refreshing. I usually find the buggering around of our history frustrating AF but in this case it was quite Blackadderish

  3. I couldn’t tell if Reign did the same thing With Mary Queen of Scots? I would like another season of Becoming Elizabeth with a sympathetic/neutral portrayal of Mary I! I liked that Mary Queen of Scots was portrayed as a strong, but flawed character! Reign also presented us with strong female friendships! I hope to see more portrayals of genuine female friendships onscreen! None of the outdated “I’m Not Like Other Girls!” nonsense!

  4. Oh, okay. Anna Chancellor – that makes me want to watch. She’s always great!

    1. She has that effect on all of us who hear the nickname ‘Duckface’ and scream “That lady is a SWAN!” at poor, unsuspecting television screens.

  5. I just love the print of that first dress, the one at the top of article, gold on blue,but it isn’t Tudor. Not even close. Sari fabric?

  6. A KNIGHT’S TALE requires no defence for those of us who love it, but as food for thought one would like to point out that while the film in question is gleefully anachronistic in style, in terms of plot the story would have been pretty darned recognisable to Medievals (That plot being ‘Poor knight gets into trouble while making a name for himself, gets away with it because he makes a friend more powerful than his enemies, and all for tbe love of a Fair Lady’).

    Meanwhile MY LADY JANE goes straight into DOCTOR WHO territory … honestly, that revelation only makes the latter show more appealing (I might actually have to watch it now).

  7. I am more offended by the double finger gesture than the color of King Edward’s actor.
    Jane was a strong willed, opinionated and articulate young woman, and probably hard to live with. She was her father’s favorite child and according to outside observers close to her mother. Frances Grey was a small, pretty woman who tried to be a good wife and mother by contemporary standards. Little is known of Guildford but Jane had no objection to him as a husband. They were not ‘soul mates’ but they seem to have developed a certain affection for each other. Jane was terrified of John Dudley, that was her entire ovjection to her marriage.
