Former supermodel Lily Cole stars as the Tudor queen in this three-part historical docudrama. ‘Exceptional’ – Independent Lily Cole takes the eponymous lead role in this ‘exceptional’ (The Independent) and ‘compelling’ (The Express) dramatic reconstruction of true-live events. Across three beautifully-shot episodes we see heady and dangerous tales of jealousy, trechery and ambition which would go on to both shape the woman and the country over which she ruled for 44 revolutionary years. Broadcast on Channel Five.
