Six Wives with Lucy Worsley; In Plain Sight; Finding My Twin Stranger

We got engaging portrayals of both Katherine and Anne Boleyn as strong, powerful personalities in their own right, while never losing sight of the intricacies of Tudor church and state politics, or the overweening dynastic ambitions of the man who held their fate in his hands.
