Released on BBC Video.
Small Box - Retail Tape
Few television series have attracted as much critical and public acclaim as these six triumphant plays, now preserved on video. Written by six different authors each play is a lavish and authentic dramatisation, produced with style and quality. And binding tem together with his magnetic and diginfied performance as the mighty monarch is Keith Michell - the definitive Henry VIII.
"And what, in the name of God, sweet Kate, can you know of sin?."
Having been forced to marry the gross and ageing king, Catherine Parr then finds herself protesting accusations of heresy. But the unpretentious Queen rises above the storm and proves to be the wife whose courageous honesty, directness and shining intellect endear rather than anger King Henry. She is also the only wife to survive her marriage and outlive the most notorious king in history.
