Not sure if he coined the term 'chick-hist' himself, though...[/quote]
AA Gill makes me laugh! Wurzel Gummidge hats?! He's right about Henry being a bit camp though

I was dying to see this series, watched the first episode and quit watching. I'm thinking I need to rent season one and two so I can see what everyone is talking about I just thought it was oring and too sexual on that first show....so I'm going to give it another go, is there going to be another season you think?

It was the comment about the furry dressings gowns and mad granny jewelery that made me splutter - spot on!

Lol! I actually wish that we could still dress like that.. jeans are so boring The costumes look quite Elizabethan to me, especially the men's.

You'll love it - if you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it for the mad costumes, the impossibly handsome Cranmer and Anne Boleyn's suspiciously botox enhanced features you'll find it good fun. There are a few weepy bits in there as well though. All in all it's completely addictive
