I agree with you so, so much about Philippa Gregory's bullshit/lack of research (like don't get me started about her murderer of the Princes in the Tower).

Wolf Hall wasn't dull, though.

[(Anonymous)]

THIS. Wolf Hall was brilliant and Mark Rylance mesmerising in the lead role.

[(Anonymous)]

Thirding. Rylance was amazing to watch.

[(Anonymous)]

Dude. You that is an impossible standard. Rylance is always amazing to watch.

[arcadiaego]

I don't know how anyone could think those scenes with Mark Rylance standing off against Anton Lesser were dull.

[(Anonymous)]

I have problems with face-blindness, and I was completely confused in those scenes because I couldn't work out which was which.

It would have helped if they'd cast someone who actually looked like Cromwell.

[(Anonymous)]

He looked more like Cromwell than Lesser looked like More. (Gosh that reads funny). But you couldn't tell from the dialogue?

[(Anonymous)]

That's fair - I have the same problem sometimes, especially with costume dramas. I still can't keep track of who some of the people in Game of Thrones are because there's just too many to distinguish. It helps that Lesser has a distinctive voice.

I suspect that when you have the chance to get Mark Rylance on TV for the first time in 10 years it probably doesn't matter whether he looks like the Holbein or not.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess you don't watch Bing then? Flop sets a whole new level of impossible standards!

(Mark Rylance is still awesome though)

[(Anonymous)]

Mark Rylance wasn't bad, but he was so completely wrong for the part, I couldn't get past it. Who thinks it was a good idea to cast an unassuming and friendly looking guy for someone who was literally described as "looking like a murderer"?

[(Anonymous)]

Aw man, what'd she say about the Princes in the Tower?

[(Anonymous)]

I think she is one of the Richard III is innocent crowd, that someone else did it to curry favor with him without his knowledge and he covered it up rather than execute them for it even though the latter course would have done more to bolster his claims of being the legitimate king. It is about as plausible as the Blackadder explanation for them, really.

[(Anonymous)]

To be fair, that's one of the more credible theories - more so than trying to lay the blame on Henry VII. But personally, I think it's highly unlikely Richard III was not involved on some level.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sticking with the Richard III had them murdered theory. Maybe out of the idea that in his tumultuous times a child king was a bad idea, maybe because he thought they were illegitimate, maybe because he just did a musical sequence with a bunch of Hyenas, who knows, but the time line of him taking them into care, declaring them illegitimate, declaring himself the only legitimate heir, and nobody ever seeing or hearing about them again, seems to line up with the murder by Richard theory.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree.

[(Anonymous)]

Don't expect sanity or rational thinking from the Richard III is innocent crowd, that's my motto!

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand why they get so worked up about it. Even with the murder of the princes in the tower, he still isn't even close to being in the top ten worst English Monarchs.

[(Anonymous)]

They were killed by order of Margaret Beaufort. (And Richard had a stand-in, so he got away.)

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah the Margaret Beaufort theory is far fetched enough, but the idea that one of the Princes escaped is a pipe dream.
