Elizabeth - Anyone Watching ?

[Peter Pedant]

just watched the first episode of Gloriana's stupendous survival
up to 1553

good bit about the affair with Thomas Seymour.... dirty boy ....
but has anyone else noticed the host of mistakes solipsisms and anachronisims

you know like when Elizabeth rings her mobey for a takeaway Indian - she says Shukran to the taxi driver from the Taj - whereas he is obviously Urdu so she should be saying Shukri and not the Arabic Shukran - yeah and they say Princess E. thru out - she was Lady Elizabeth. You didnt have princessess until george III had so many

everyone wears black - whereas is is a professional colour ( divines and doctors of physic) xc for Anne Boleyn whose fave colour it was

Queens get addressed as Your Majesty - I am not sure about that
Henry has forbidden Katherine Parr was given trappings of royalty but that extended to My Lady - Henry himself was the firt to be called Your M

OO - chopping off the head - Annes was completely wrong - she joked about her young white nexk the day before....Actually you stretched out your hands like a bird behind your back and that stretched the neckand gave the executioner something to aim for

aargh we have just had princess again .....

o god we have just had Edward VI on his death bed looking like Timothy Daley.....
not quite - TB

Henry VIII was no Dad of the Year - - o dear dear .....

Philip II looks like a well fed devon farmer - full faced on doobl crema and seedray
actually we know well what he looked like ( think grilled macherel)

Arrrgh the archbishop of Canterbures is a cardinal innit ?

they have just taken Elizabeth to the tower and missed out the bit where she plonks on the quay at Traitors Gate - refuses to go in and says "I am no traitor"
madam I will be forced to tell the guards to carry you in .....
