Am I wrong or is the last time we got a depiction of Jane Seymour as Queen The Tudors?

This Amber necklace is worn on Kelly Macdonald as Isabel Knollys in Elizabeth (1998) and worn on Carice van Houten as Maria Oldknow in From Time to Time (2009) and worn again many years later on Princess Mary I Tudor in Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light (2024)

You can write on England, but what was written before keeps showing through, inscribed on the rocks and carried on floodwater, surfacing from deep cold wells. It's not just the saints and martyrs who claim the country, it's those who came before them: the dwarves dug into ditches, the sprites who sing in the breeze, the demons bricked into culverts and buried under bridges; the bones under your floor.

'I used to have a magpie when I was a child. I caught it myself.'

She says, 'I cannot imagine you as a child.'

He thinks, neither can I. I cannot picture myself.

New Norfolk and Gardiner! And Harriet Walter as Maggie Pole, she was great as Margaret Beaufort in The Spanish Princess.

When I first read the description under Henry's image, I thought they were trying to do something clever by combining VIII and villian. But they weren't aha.

First Look at Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

Every time I think Gregory's character is inconsistent with strange development, I realize it's a direct result of Thomas not checking in on him or witnessing his development, so when Gregory lashes out, then goes back to normal, and then speaks like a child, or acts sarcastic, and it's seemingly makes no sense, i understand we're suppose to see Gregory like Thomas does.

I would have loved to see the story written through Gregory's perspective

Sometimes I’m fine, and then sometimes I remember that this is how Hilary Mantel writes about the death of Thomas Cromwell, and then I am beyond all sense and all words.

It's always the wrong bits of the past people want back.
