The Tudors have been already put in the TV's channel in 2011, on Canal + for season 4 and Arte for season 1 and 2.

Just a reminder that David Starkey's new series starts tomorrow (6 April) 9:00 on channel 4. Its a 4 parter looking at "what made the real Henry." Might be worth a look...

As we know, David Starkey slammed "The Tudors" series and now Michael Hirst (the Writer) gives Starkey's new Book :The Virtuous Prince" a review :
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2008/oct/26/henry-virtuous-prince quote: "His is no longer a fresh voice. He is no longer at the cutting edge. His TV series are stuck in the late Sixties - he talks to camera like a Cambridge don and allows stiff, wooden re-enactments which he calls 'truth'. David Starkey isn't a bad historian. He just isn't as good as he thinks."

i can understand Weir's dismay. I have just finished her "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" and I was looking at her notes and bibliography. Weir is very thorough. Each of her chapters has a corresonding section of sources in the back of the book. Her bibliograph is extensive. Even the photos she uses are cited as to origin. Although the book is written in the style of a popular biography, (meaning readable and interesting to the average person, vs the scholar - not a bad thing because people who would not read a biography couched in scholarly jargon will read the book and learn about the period) it was thoroughly researched and her sources cited. Weir uses both primary sources (i.e. The Spanish Calendar and the dispatches of Eustache Chapuys) and secondary sources (Authors of other biographies). Nevertheless this series should be enjoyed just for what it is, a royal soap opera, just as one would enjoy a novel about the period for its ability to transport us to another time and place. In some cases both ot these media lead us as they did me to research nonfiction sources for a truer picture of the period. One could for example, even research the dress of the period (an interesting study in itself) to check for historical accuracy in movie costumes. Obviously costumes were also a part of Weir's research. She certainly did her work.
