The Desperate Housewifes of Windsor.....

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2009)

"Two sisters contend for the affection of King Henry VIII", so says the plot; more like wannabee royals desperate to get their daughters married off try for the big one on the throne. Unfortunately for them he happens to be into numerous partners and if that means creating his own church to get his rocks off so to speak, or even executing a few unfortunates, then well so be it.He is the King after all in a time when their power was absolute.
Lavish sets and costumes, great production design and fine direction. Excellent acting from all the cast especially from the actress playing the unfortunate incumbent Queen before the Boleyn 'sister act' comes along.
High entertainment and melodrama at its' best!
7/10.
