I have literally just bought The Tudors (all 4 series) on DVD and i am absolutely in love with it! Natalie Dormer does a fantastic job portraying Anne Boleyn. xxx

Yes it was very well done I must admit.
I still watch the DVD’s sometimes too. I actually found the whole of the first series quite by accident, as it wasn’t even being mentioned on British TV at the time, I downloaded the first episode watched it and was completely hooked.

Yes, even though they played games with the historical facts in places, I totally enjoyed it. It was beautiful. Contrary to many opinions, I thought JRM was a perfect Henry, and Natalie Dormer, the perfect Anne. In fact all of the actors were superb.

Yes Henry Cavill was a real stud muffin.
I thought the actress that played Mary was brilliant, we tend to view the real Mary, by what she became when she came to throne. But once upon a time there was a loving beautiful (by Tudor Standards) young woman.

The only actress I couldn’t really get to grips with was Tasmin whatnot, she irritated me, but even so I can see why the Showtime people wanted to portray K.H like that. The real K.H was after all a girl, not really ready to face the wolves in the lion’s den.

J.R.M played an excellent Fat Arse and I can well imagine the real Fat Arse having irrational outbursts of temper at people.
Natalie Dormer was wonderful especially the scene where she watched her brother die, that cry was heart wrenching. But for me my favourite Anne is Geneveive Bujold she just had that certain something. In just the same way as Glenda Jackson portayal of Elizabeth. Other actresses have played the part of Elizabeth but they don’t come anywhere near Glenda. That said the girl who played Elizabeth in the Tudors was very good especially in the scene when Mary says that Edward is more important, and Elizabeth says “I don’t think so” and the scene when she wonders off after Fat Arse has said his farewells.
I actually wonder what Fat Arse really thought of his children? Did he have any love for them at all, or did he just see them as small people that could be used a tokens on the political board of life. Was he disappointed in them? Yes he brought them out for an airing every so often but was that to stop gossip, that the children were deformed or ugly?
