the kennedys - history channel

anyone else watching?
Katie Holmes is fab as jackie kennedy

Yes me - she's not nearly so irritating as I thought she would be.

Although some bits are a little clunky.

can see why it was pulled from USA TV!

And apparently my MIL has always loathed JFK's father because he was such a crook and schemer...(weird)

agree on clunkiness though....

OMG did that just happen?!

It's always the same with these factual dramas. They should put a banner across the screen to highlight historical facts, instead of crowbarring them into the script!

Also, Tom Wilkinson's accent kept slipping into Hannibal Lector

Hi guys, I'm actually working on The Kennedys at the moment.

Great that you managed to watch it! :) and really nice to hear your thoughts too.

Will you be watching next week?

I heard from a friend that Katie Holmes was embarrassingly bad- that she did various accents too, none of which Jackie Kennedy's?

yes I'll be watching next week for the mafia connections! (To find out what MIL is on about!)

Katie has been great so far, very believable, her accent has been consistent...disclaimer I've never heard jackie kennedy speak on film so would have no idea what she was meant to sound like.

Hi Bookswapper, thanks for your comments, good to see you?ll be watching next week...

Just to give you a little preview into the next episode I can reveal that Bobby will use his new power as Attorney General to take on the mafia, causing problems for Jack. We also see how Jack?s behaviour puts Jackie in a difficult position.

Hope you enjoy the next episode!

I really enjoyed it last week - much more than i'd anticipated. I'll be watching this week.

Hey guys, did anybody catch the last episode? What did you think? You might be interested in seeing a clip of the next episode which you'll find here bit.ly/dI0m1L.

Looking forward to your comments!
