Tracy Borman has long been my favorite Tudor Historian (with Lucy Worsley an incredibly close second) and in this documentary she delves deeper into not just the last days of Queen Anne's life, but the outrageous circumstances that brought about her execution. She doesn't touch on some of the things the Catholic church managed to lie about for centuries (the warts and that fabled 11th finger) but the machinations of Cromwell and the King and their threats and pressure to Anne's uncle and father to support allegations of incest, adultery and treason with absolutely no supporting evidence. I've always believed in Anne's innocence, but if any part of you harbors some doubt, this series will erase it. (Also a peek at Elizabeth I's locket ring! I've heard about it and read about it but never seen it!)
Oh, and I'm not marking this as a review with spoilers. Come on, people, you've had 500 years to catch up.
