Is anyone else very excited about The Devil's Whore?

[SixSpotBonfire]

Am waiting impatiently for 9 pm on Wednesday...

DS2 saw an advert for this and obviously misheard it, and said to me "you have that book mum don't you, The Devil wore" as in Devil wore Prada!
Maybe just as well he misunderstood

what's it about?

cor, what a thread title! never heard of it

i was just about to post a thread on it, it looks good - anyone know anything about it?

Oooh, yes, John Simm

Rather more to the point, Dominic West...[drool].

It's about Cromwell!

Are you a Witchfinder General sort of girl SSB, or more of a By the Sword Divided type?

It depends which foot I'm digging with, Marina .

Well I'm looking forward to it but just know at some stage DS is going to ask "Mummy, what's a whore?" In the same way that he has heard us mention Desperate Housewives and wants to know what it's about.

Pea, I don't think there's anything in "Let's Talk about where babies come from" that's going to help you with this one.

There - all ready for Wednesday night now .

who is Cromwell he is gorg!!

i did enjoy this but i would have liked to know more about the history at the time so if anybody would like to enlighten me i would be very grateful or i might just go and google.

I thought it was very good. All the right stuff: beautiful people, history, nookie, heaving bosoms (for dh).

Wish it was on Sundays though cos I like a nice period drama for a Sunday evening. I just couldn't get along with Little Dorrit cos I kep missing the Thursday episode which makes it hard to follow.

do you know, the onscreen schedule in our PVR had the title starred out, and I was looking at it going 'The Devil's what?'

took me a good few minutes

missed it! (football was on last night ) what channel was it on?

C4. Looks as if it's on again Sat evening (possibly a repeat of last night?)

What I especially liked (cos I'm a girly girl) were the costumes. The women really looked as gorgeous as they do in those huge paintings of beauties of the time that you see in stately homes.
