Started watching Wolf Hall on BBC2. If anyone has a liking for Tudor history - they should try and see this.

It tells the story of the rise of Thomas Cromwell. Only seen episode 1 so far - but so far, so very, very good.

I guess that's a no then. That's a shame - its been a really good production - comes to an end next Wednesday.

Damian Lewis is a qualiteeee actor.

Been following two programs lately, both on BBC. First is World at War, and the second is "Rivers" with Griff Rhys Jones. "Rivers" is completed now I think because it's now "Lost Routes". Griff Rhys Jones...[&o]

Coolio - I will have to give that a watch!

Broadchurch ended last night. Not as good as Series 1, but worth viewing.

The Casual Vacancy and Indian Summers continue to be worth a watching - as does Wolf Hall (finishes this week) and Fortitude.

Just finished the excellent Wolf Hall.

[Spoiler alert]

Anne Boleyn gets her head chopped off! Never saw that coming....

I bet Mr. Cromwell eventually gets his chopped off, too.
Just an educated guess, and no, I know absolutely nothing about English history. Why do you ask?

You are very prescient indeed sir.

Just goes to show what treacherous times they were. One minute you are totally indispensible, the King's personal "fixer" and the next, you are getting your head removed from your shoulders having been found guilty without trial.... [X(]

And we colonists thought 'no taxation without representation' was bad. [:D]

I think Henry took a slightly different approach. Instead of "no taxation without representation, it was more - "no ability to oppose the King if you don't have your head".

Yes indeed. George III could've learned a thing or two from Great Harry.

Apocalypse WW I series on the AHC channel (American History Channel), well done, well narrated , a historical, makes one get on line to kill, destroy, maim, a great series that pushes the enthusiasm button to play CTGW...

Interesting enough and Jeremy Clarkson is a great presenter.

Edit: Well worth the time I spent watching it.

Might have seen that documentary: I think it's about a convoy that got slaughtered going to Murmask..

Just watched the brad pitt film Fury - nothing special, in fact it kind of annoys me that they always portray the germans as complete morons who literally just run en masse into gun fire - the allieds won the war but i doubt that they would have done it so easily as such movies depict, i think i am still waiting for a realistic ww2 war movie
In Fury there is an SS battalion that just run around like headless chickens in front of a tank - and they have every advantage in the world over the tank, that is, they have crates of panzerfausts, it is night, there is smoke everywhere , oh and the tank is immobilised - it kind of ruins any sense of simulated realism when the germans in Wolfenstein 3D are more intelligent

New series on BBC tonight - the re-make of the 1970's classic Poldark.

Definitely worth a look [:)]

'Vietnam in HD' (3 part) on the 'History Channel'.
