Anne Boleyn is one of the most famous and controversial women in British history. In 1536, she became the first queen in Britain's history to be executed. The brutal speed of her downfall and the astonishing nature of the charges against her - treason, adultery, even incest - make her story shocking even to this day.
Yet whilst we know how Anne died, the story of why she had to go and who authored her violent end has been the subject of fiery debate across six centuries. In a radical new approach to televised history, a stellar cast of writers and historians, including Hilary Mantel, David Starkey, Philippa Gregory and others, battle out the story of her last days and give their own unique interpretations of her destruction.
I'm always down with a lady kicking ass and taking names, both literally and metaphorically.
What can I say, I love me some BBC.
Documentaries - or mostly an excuse to listen to Louis Theroux and David Attenborough talk.
At least some inspiration has been drawn from real events, though sometimes it might seem but a distant memory.
Shows set in a long gone period of time. Even if that time happens to be the 80's. Basically everything not taking place in the present of the time of filming.
Because nothing beats BBC.
Oh no these aren't crime shows, just shows where two people steal the scene from all the others - be it friends, enemies, frenemies or even lovers.
For all those shows about the regals of good old Europa.
If I had a British accent I'd never shut up.
