I have always enjoyed this part of history, and to see it acted out in front of me by many talented actors including Ray Winstone, Sean Bean, Helena Bownam Carter and Emilia Fox was 4 hours of unreputed joy. This film gave us a view of the parts of history the text books didn't and gave us a sight of the 'real Henry' and, even more so the other people who contributed to his fascinating life. Everybody, down to the extras in the background carried their roles wonderfully. The music and scenery perfectly complemented the peice. A pleasure to watch.
