Is that the series with Keith Michell? If so, yes, I saw it when it was new. I thought Michell was maybe a little too cuddly; his Henry was never quite scary enough.
My favourite Henry is Robert Shaw in A Man For All Seasons. He gives us the bonhomie, the charisma and the scariness.
And Vanessa Redgrave is wonderful as Anne Boleyn. All she does is flit across the screen and giggle and yet you know exactly who this woman is and why Henry finds her so damn attractive.
Ooh yes... wolves, snow, cold stone floors. My school was a bit like that....
I'm sure I was a monk- or a nun. I visit ruined abbeys (there are lots in this part of the world) and I feel so at home.
