The Tudors - A bit liberal with accuracy????

Just brought the box set as I have been meaning to watch it for ages.

Im a bit shocked at how inaccurate historically it is. Why do producers and directors completely change historical fact???

This blatant disregard for history is only redeemed by the sight of JRM's torso.......

He is so yummy though.

IMO They can't be bothered to check the facts and would say it's drama not drama doc. IKWYM though it annoys me too.

BradTittAndFlange · 22/01/2011 12:25

I just noticed it is on tonight, I must sky plus it, I had not seen any advertisement for it until today! YEAH!

That's what put me off in series 1..it just reminds me of Americians re writing world war 2 as their victory, like there were no other allies involved Hmm

AmpleBosom · 22/01/2011 17:47

What channel is it on tonight?

KatieScarlett2833 · 22/01/2011 17:48

You don't watch it for accuracy, there are books for that. You watch it cos of all the pretty people having sex. Charles Brandon, mmmmm (except series 4 when he's hairy faced).

What?? iT's on tonight??????
What time/ What channel?
I really enjoyed it, I know it's not accurate, but still enjoyable

SilveryMoon · 22/01/2011 17:56

BBC2 9:45pm

9:45!!!!!!!! Will have to Sky+ it, no chance I'll still be up at that time

bluebump · 22/01/2011 19:29

I just noticed it was on too, they haven't advertised this as far as I know. Ooh it's Henry Cavill (the one who plays Charles Brandon) that does it for me! Grin

I'll have to stay up and watch it as DP got rid of our sky+!!

KatieScarlett2833 · 22/01/2011 19:31

You an download all episodes on TV Blixx. Series 4 is fab, BTW.

BradTittAndFlange · 22/01/2011 19:32

Blue, he is yummy also! I think he has facial hair in this one though.

BradTittAndFlange · 22/01/2011 19:33

Katie, do they make it clear if they go into Edward/Mary/Elizabeth Tudor's reigns or does it end with Henry?

KatieScarlett2833 · 22/01/2011 19:37

Ends with Henry being haunted by deceased wives, they dying.

Squitten · 22/01/2011 22:47

I'm a history student with a special interest in the Tudors so the historical innacuracy always makes me crack up.

Totally agree that all that is made utterly trivial by the sight of JRM in the buff and Henry Cavill being all gorgeous :)

twirlymum · 22/01/2011 23:01

JRM is utterly delicious!
Surrey is a bit of an enigma- what's the deal there?

freerangeeggs · 23/01/2011 13:57

Charles Brandon is the whole reason I started watching. OM NOM NOM

Which season was it he had a shaved head in? Liked that.

Thomas Culpeper's getting a bit of a raw deal, is he not?? Or is my Wikipedia showing?
