The Tudors

This weekend past Salsa Girl and I completed our watching of the eponymous historical televisual series.

We found it to be a reasonably entertaining and educational experience.

For instance one learned much of the intricacies of the wheres and what-fors of Henry the VIII's wives various - admittedly usually after an excursion into Wikipedia to ascertain if it really did happen in the way the show was presenting it to us.

One also learned of the power that a gruesome torture scene has to send Salsa Girl scurrying from the room, ears covered and asking to be told when it was over. Yes, given Henry's propensity for wild accusation and execution, one learned that lesson many times over.

Worth tracking down and having a look at.


One's next big task is to convince Salsa Girl that she should watch the Napoleon series I have scavenged up. Given that it begins in the heady days of the revolution and Madame guillotine one may be facing quite the difficult task.
