I guess you could bring Lady Jane Grey, her brutish parents and the despicable in-laws, the Dudleys, to life. And maybe some Catholic priests or Protestant reformers with interesting issues... But it all sounds too horrible to contemplate!

The third series is scheduled to start on Friday 21st August 9pm BBC2. This week's Radio Times contains an article about the new series by historian Tracy Borman. Unlike David Starkey, she sees merit in the series stating it evokes "the dangerously seductive charisma and magisterial arrogance that kept a court in thrall for almost 40 years." She goes on to comment that it has stimulated an interest in British history encouraging people to find out what really happened. The series opens with Henry's marriage to Jane Seymour. A fictitious mistress, Lady Ursula Misseldon is introduced who according to the article provides nothing more than the "required quota of nudity". So it's business as usual then.
