for fans of the Tudors

I've been looking forward to that show, too. I have it marked on my calendar. :)

Don't miss it! I've seen it and it was terrific!

Much of the filming was done here:>http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/montacute-house/

You might also want to keep an eye out for the new BBC series 'Poldark' - which is an historical drama set in Cornwall.

They're re doing Poldark? Fabulous.

And Poldark IS fabulous too!

I'd be excited to see a re-make of Poldark, loved the original series, have it on DVD. The previews for Wolf Hall look good too.

Night time scenes were shot in candle light which wouldn't have been possible not that long ago.

Karen, Thanks for the reminder! I'm a Tudors fan and will be watching.

From The Telegraph, here's an article detailing most of the shooting locations:

Just when you think you've seen most of the interesting houses/sites/castles in England, there are always more.

Speaking of new technology allowing to film in low light, it's even starting to show up in some prosumer-level cameras.

Here is some stuff on the new Poldark series:> (not sure if it will work outside the UK). http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/nbVFGmB7lFVmJJKpjrCQV/poldarks-cornwall-locations

I would dearly love to see the BBC do a truthful series on the reign of Richard III.
I'm no fan of the Tudors. I read somewhere that "It was the settled and considered policy of the Tudors to rid themselves of all rivals to the throne, more especially those heirs of York who remained alive on the succession of Henry VII. In this they were successful, although it was left to Henry VIII to get rid of the last of them". Sounds a bit like mass murder......which it was.

Keith...
Maybe not the whole house of Tudor, but certainly both Henrys.
One of Henry VII's first acts was to have some of Richard's men at Bosworth executed on a charge of treason. He based the charge on his claim that his reign began the day before Bosworth.
He also had Richard's bastard son John executed, as well as Sir John Tyrell, Constable of the Tower. Also the Dukes of Exeter, Surry, Buckingham, and Montague. Richard's nephew, Edward, Earl of Warwick was locked up by Henry VIII and later executed for "attempting to escape". Margaret, Edward's sister, was also executed by Henry VIII.
