Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of the film, when Lord Hampton and his men are preparing to rescue Queen Marie from the Tower, the gunpowder fuse used to blow up the gates goes out. When it does, you can see the line of gunpowder is about an inch too short and does not reach the barrel, meaning it was meant to go out in the first place. more

An unofficial tale about Henry VIII's two brief marriages between Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour.
The usual crude humour of the series is reasonably neglected in preference of real wit and poignancy, the acting shows unexpected sophistication, the dialogue sharp, and even the period detail seems stimulatingly accurate in this surprisingly effective travesty of "Anne of the Thousand Days", "Lion in Winter", "A Man for All Seasons" and other British historical sagas. One of the best efforts of all concerned.
