Only one episode to go. What am I going to do once this has finished? It has been on for years. I have had to wait until the penultimate episode for JRM not to look gorgeous.

Why has he aged about 20 years in one episode tho when everyone else looks either a few years older or exactly the same! (French mistress woman, lady Mary)

laInfanta · 26/03/2011 23:29

God JRM is a crap actor

What's with the fake deep 'old man' voice?

I was thinking how good the old man voice was!

I thought it was a bit Sixth Form play

THe old man voice is awful. Absolutely and completely awful.

Why does the Earl of Surrey have a scottish accent - and is about 20 years older than the actual Earl of Surrey? Why has Lady Hertford only had one child - she actually had about 10. Why has the Earl of Surrey been condemned to death before Catherine Parr has her run in with the Bishop? In fact he was executed a week or two before Henry died. Why has nobody mentioned the Duke of Norfolk, his father?

Oh I know - because it's entertainment not history innit? Tsk. There wasn't even any sex in last night's episode.......

Oh and the Princess Elizabeth is just about the right age now - 14 but she has appeared to be that age for the last 7 years and Princess Mary hasn't aged at all..........

belledechocchipcookie · 27/03/2011 16:53

JRM sounded Irish! It was very odd.

laInfanta · 27/03/2011 16:57

He is Irish I think....

You've got to cut them some slack with ages etc. otherwise they'd be changing actors every episode...

belledechocchipcookie · 27/03/2011 16:58

Henry the VIII wasn't Irish though.

laInfanta · 27/03/2011 16:58

No but JRM is, I think it just creeps in

belledechocchipcookie · 27/03/2011 17:00

He's managed OK in the previous episodes.

Northernlurker · 27/03/2011 17:09

It just creeps in? He's an actor (supposedly) - if it just creeps in then he should just creep it out again!

laInfanta · 27/03/2011 17:10

Well he's not very good is he? He's like the male version of Keira Knightley (he pouts as well) only less talented

Northernlurker · 27/03/2011 17:13

It is bizarre how they've aged them. Apart from Superman who looks exactly the same but under a really bad rug.

belledechocchipcookie · 27/03/2011 19:25

Henry only aged in the last episode, I think it should have been done gradually over time.

womma · 27/03/2011 20:19

I've said it before, I'll say it again - it's Hollyoaks does history!

I've started watching it as a comedy now, JRM is hilarious in his utter shiteness

SilveryMoon · 27/03/2011 20:24

I love JRM! His irish accent coming in is a bit annoying, I'l grant you, and as the years have passed, his acting in this has got worse, but maybe that's a case of him getting too cocky in his character?

I'm just about to watch last night's episode, gutted there's no sex in it Sad

Can you imagine how much money he must have made playing this part? I have had several birthdays since I started watching this - I feel I have grown up with it.

He's a right little prick in real life apparently, has been done for being drunk and offensive in an airport or something

SilveryMoon · 27/03/2011 20:34

When we watched last weeks episode, I asked dp if he thought JRM was a prick in R or just a good actor.........................we both decided probably a prick in RL. He is still good to drool over though Wink

SilveryMoon · 27/03/2011 20:40

Ok, am watching it now, he is not so good to drool over right now. And am not impressed with the old man voice. Or the irish bits.
Charles Brandon is looking HOT though

TheDailyWail · 27/03/2011 21:20

The old man voice - sounds like Michael McIntyre!

MooMooFarm · 30/03/2011 11:21

Am gutted the series is ending. Started off in series one really fancying JRM - but now I can't stand him. His acting has gotten worse and worse and I don't understand why the director didn't pull him up on his wierd Irish accent - Henry + irish just doesn't go! And I don't understand how he aged about 20 years in one episode whilst everyone else looks the same...

There's also been a serious lack of rumpy lately Sad

But will miss it anyway.
