I Know It's Wrong, But

[SparklyKid]

A non white actress playing Anne Boleyn.

Would Daniel Craig be acceptable playing Nelson Mandella, say ?

//The actress who is playing Anne Boleyn is new to me and to be honest, she does look a bit miserable,...//

So would you be if you knew you were going to be decapitated in the last episode! :-)

From what i have gathered through reading several previews, is that though it is based on the story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII, what actually happened isn't strictly adhered to. It is a 're-imagining' of events. Not watched it yet but, like mamy, will certainly give it a bash sometime soon. And, if i don't find it to my taste, it won't be because i can't handle a black Anne Boleyn.

Why are these people so keen to re-write history?What next Prince Philip a child molester?Where does it end?

[Mamyalynne]

Wow, that's a warped leap and a half grumpy.

[Barsel]

grumpy, the Titanic that didn't sink?

[andy-hughes]

Grumpy, re-imagining and re-writing are not the same things.

[Ken4155]

Thanks for the spoiler, Barsel. Not seen The Titanic yet :-((

[Barsel]

Sorry Ken, you wouldn't have liked it anyway.:-)

[royfromaus]

Foo, there are some dumb people on answerbank.

[grumpy01]

Maybe a bit warped but once this sort of thing starts to snowball.

[Mamyalynne]

A bit warped?

You bet.

Well, it is what it is. I have no interest in these kind of shows (costume dramas, I mean), so won't be watching it regardless. I just can't understand why people get so het up about an entertainment programme, especially one that has already been described as an "re-imagining" (according to Ken earlier in this thread).

[mushroom25]

odd claim on the channel 5 trailer, just repeated on the One Show.

"You may know the history. but you don't know her story".

well channel 5, since you're at pains to point out this is a re-imagining rather than a historical text, we still don't know her story.

Did anyone watch it & what did you think?

Gets a very poor review in The Daily Mail.

[davebro]
