Christmas Tree 3997 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'd be genuinely surprised if CT would have the attention span for Wolf Hall...... Not sure why Having just completed 4 seasons of The Tudors, 6 episodes is nowt. Add to that, Cromwell was one of my favourite characters. The more scheming and politically active the character, the more I enjoy them. It's always the same story though. Stay nice and safe in middle management.

You have NEVER struck me as being one to enjoy subtlety! Can't imagine this is the right kind of television to watch on a mobile between fares either, but there you go.

Alex 30462 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The Tudors is more action packed but it was still canny good. More sexed up, if you like. Wolf Hall was different class though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26981 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The bloke who accused me of watching too much telly a couple of weeks ago has since reported in TWICE to confirm the completion of two full series. Aye, but he has The Beast, so what do you expect? If it was chocolate it would be a Yorkie bar. He has started growing extra hairs on his chest since installing The Beast and Mrs CT has been walking around the house rather tenderly since The Beast came to Boldon.

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 CT, if you're after a slightly more historically accurate retelling of Henry VIII's reign, the 3/4 parter with Ray Winstone is alreet. It's nowt special like but it's closer to the truth than The Tudors and was actually used in my A-Level History class. What a school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nowt special like but it's closer to the truth than The Tudors and was actually used in my A-Level History class. What a school. I'll dig that out. Tbf, I did watch the Tudors in conjunction with Wikipedia and kept checking out bits and bobs, timelines etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17828 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Anyone watching War and Peace? I've enjoyed it, the period melodrama works well against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Pride and prejudice with guns. Acting is superb as well. Like CT it's encouraged me to do some research along the way, I'm clueless as to the history of that period.

First TV or film I've seen for ages where I've read the source material so sort of know where it's going but still feel surprised. They've reflected it well so far.

Great set-up, geo-politics of Mars, Earth, the Asteroid belt and the OPA terrorists. Did you watch the season 1 finale last night? Only on episode 6.

Only on episode 6. Not yet will do so at the weekend. Thing is there's enough material to probably take more than one season per book but at the same time I'd like them to get the story told without it taking years if that makes sense.
