"well a wiki depends a lot of a community of people making it a living entity. Because we have a TV series which is ongoing, our wiki grows everytime it is shown in a new country. Plus the fans that saw the 1st and 2nd series will come back with the 3rd & 4th....so unless there is a series about Mary, I dont see a wiki being too successful.

BTW you might be interested in this new youtube clip by littlemisssunnydale :

I am subscribed to her channel and she has a wealth of tudor clips which are really worth checking out. Plus she is very knowledgeable about the era. If you are a tudor fan, its a must to see.

Thank you about recommending littlemissunnydale. I actually saw some of her videos today. I spent the WHOLE day yesterday learning how to use it on my own> Not so easy if you don't have a teenager in residence. Anyway her videos came up. I have been desperatrely seeking mark Smeaton'[s music from the show but have had no luck. Also looking for Mr. Beveridge's maggot.
I couldn't do a wiki, as Mary Q is not a mini series. It looks like it won't have any movie fans either. What a shame. She was a sexy woman. Kind of a cross between Anne B, with her French style and sophistication, and Catherine of Aragon, who was pious, born a princess (Mary Q born a Queen annointed, and royal born), but she was feminine, charming, and very educated. However, she was also a victim of all the men in her life.

"Also has anyone read Phillipa Greggorys book on Mary Queen Of Scots? I have it am only halfway through so far."
It was mostly a work of fiction... possible but improbable.....

Mary Queen of Scots was tall!!! How are they going to get away with that? Scarlett is five foot three!

Maybe they'll have her wear high heels like JRM in season 3? Couldn't hurt, since she'll probably be wearing those long skirts that wouldn't show the anachronistic heels.

"Oh good, I'm glad it's not another PG adaptation. Perhaps it's a remake of the earlier film from the 70's, with Vanessa Redgrave?"
If Scarlett J. gives a performance of Mary QofS the way she did Mary Boleyn,I'll wait for it on DVD. Scarlett has a "deer in the headlight" look that maybe is supposed to be innocence? Philippa Gregory's books have always been fiction,she take extreme historical license. I even purchased the BBC dvd "TOBG", and they even turned out a lackluster film(not usual BBC standards). Loved Vanessa Redgrave as Mary,Katherine Hepburn a little too brittle.

It was the worst book I've ever read, I put it down halfway through because I couldn't take anymore.

This is so exciting. Mary is my primary interest which got me into Tudor History. As far as her accent, I think she had a pure accent in every language, as she had a supurb education, with all her ladies, and all the French royal children. She was perfect;y lingual, and brilliant, although not quite as smart as Elizabeth, who was known for her command of latin greek, french etc. However, she could slip into a scots accent with no problem I'm sure, as when she went back, I'm sure she could fall into it easily. This is so great!! Do you find this valuable?

She most certainly is a Tudor she was the grand daughter of Margaret Tudor who was the sister of Henry VIII. Margaret Tudor Married James IV of Scotland of house Stewart. Margaret Tudor and James IV gave birth to James V he married Mary of Guise who gave birth to Mary Queen of Scots. She was Elizabeth I first cousin once removed.
