Anybody on here watch this programme? I think it's brilliant. OK, historically it's not that accurate but makes for great TV. I've watched every episode and still enjoy it. The lead actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is superb although by this time the real Henry VIII had been knocking back the pies so was a lot heavier than portrayed. Joss Stone plays Anne Of Cleves in tonight's episode and she was supposedly so ugly that the king never slept with her and the marriage got annulled.

Well, that's it. Finished. I was very impressed with how they made the characters age through the series. But somewhat disappointed with the final episode.

Anyone know if they are recording Mary at all? Should be enough sex and murder in her reign to make it worthy of broadcasting...

Really enjoyed all seasons, I know what you mean I did find the final episode a little disappointing..

Here's hoping for a series of Mary... there is something about Sarah Bolger that I find extremely intriguing.. Very good actress, very pretty.. yep.. let's hope!

Really enjoyed the series. Enjoyable drama and amazing sets and costumes etc. I know a lot of the good stuff starts out on bbc2 but I still can't figure out why this got such a late evening slt on bbc2?

Tudors was great. You could definitely see the influence Showtime had on production! I'm also hoping for another series as Mary had become a bigger character, but I doubt it will happen.
