One of the more interesting casting choices for Henry VIII (aside from Sid James), would have to be Ray Winstone for a 2003 Granada/WGBH mini-series. Winstone made the conscious decision to speak in his natural voice, and played Henry as a boisterous East-London crime-boss with a hint of fading mid-70s Elvis charisma.

He had some very strong support in terms of additional casting; Helena Bonham Carter as Anne Boleyn, David Suchet as Cardinal Wolsey, Mark Strong as the Duke of Norfolk, Assumpta Serna (Sharpe) as Katherine of Aragon, Emilia Fox as Jane Seymour, Emily Blunt as Catherine Howard, and Sean Bean as Robert Aske.

There were a few classic quotes and moments; Norfolk is not confident in portrait artist Hans Holbein’s ability to capture Anne of Cleves ('You know these artistic types, unreliable!'). During negotiations following the Pilgrimage of Grace, King Henry calls Robert Aske 'a cheeky sod', and when Thomas Cromwell (Danny Webb) turns up for his execution, the young, nervous axeman assures Cromwell that he had been practicing all night, then buries the axe twice in Cromwell’s back (complete with sound effects and audience reaction) before finally managing slice off his head, to a big cheer from the crowd.

It was originally to be written by Alan Bleasdale (Boys from the Blackstuff) but it appears that creative differences with the producers and early funding uncertainties led to him being replaced by Peter Morgan.

The series won an International Emmy for most outstanding television movie or mini-series.

the opening scene of the pilot of waterloo road is so great.

"i predict a riot" plays as a kid smashes a school window, girls practice a dance routine, boys handshake, kids on phones, some girls bully another girl, two teachers stand in the midst, one yawning the other smoking, and a student tells them the head master is on the roof. cut to a man throwing boxes of papers onto the students below, ranting and raving about how much he hates the place, one of the teachers from the ground runs up to stop him and the headmaster collapses in hysterics in the teachers arms as the camera pans to the sky to show the title and logo. that's how you do it! can't wait for the new season!

LOVE

why does love have to be shown dramatically

As a person who craves love I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that for a romance to be good it has to be in some kind of way tragic.

Don’t get me wrong – some problems have to appear and the characters have to overcome them. But why is it always so… dramatic?

Most of the problems come from unresolved topics – one character didn’t give the second one a chance to explain themselves. And my question is WHY.

I’m watching Something in the rain and I loved it at the beginning but now (ep 12) it feels like the writers are purposefully making characters’ life hard just because.

I can’t understand it. Why on earth is she doing stupid things like constantly. It makes zero sense. It’s not even entertaining anymore. And even though I haven’t finished it yet I can easily predict how it’s gonna go. And I hate it. Because the writers ruined their relationship and actually the characters themselves.

I had the same issue with One day and Normal people (my rant).

Honestly the only drama I’ve watched so far with credible tragic moments and sensibly dramatic twists was First love (suuuper long analysis here)

I hate that I can’t just watch two people being reasonably happy without the writers making the hell out of their lives for nobody’s pleasure.

Outstanding storytelling. Close to a Must Watch. I have a mind to watch Ikiru, the 1950s Japanese movie this was remade from.

Living is a 2022 British drama film directed by Oliver Hermanus from a screenplay by Kazuo Ishiguro, adapted from the 1952 Japanese film Ikiru directed by Akira Kurosawa, which in turn was inspired by the 1886 Russian novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. It stars Bill Nighy, with Aimee Lou Wood, Alex Sharp, and Tom Burke.

Here's a crucial little bit of shorthand for any Americans watching British crime drama.

(America) CPS = Child Protective Services

(Great Britain) CPS = Crown Prosecution Service

Like the classic novel published in 1922, the film is whimsical, enchanting, and romantic. Our review of "Enchanted April."

YouTube is restricting my views for some reason. I’ve gone from 27 views down to 11. I have now made my way back up to 18, but it’s slow progress. Please give it a watch if you can!

I hope Kate Middleton is photoshopping those pictures herself. I hope she had a fight with the royal family and they are all outside her door, begging to just please, let us take one normal picture of you, they all think we murdered you! Kate! Kate!

And then she puts another, even shittier, photomanipulated pic on twitter.
