Re: Wolf Hall
Caught up with this on Iplayer this morning. It was very dark - apparently they tried to recreate authentic lighting effects - in fact sometimes you could not see the characters very clearly.Re: Wolf Hall
Yeh it wasn't so much the lighting , was expecting that, it was the dialogue - sort of stunted, the characters seemed trapped by the dialologue too, Henry & Anne looked like they were really trying but they were stuck with the same half-sentences /abrupt pauses as Cromwell was .. at first I thought that was supposed to be his character, but everyone else was the same! I got Wolf Hall as an audio book & I thought it awful, dark & miserable. Couldn't stick with it. I have a theory Hilary Mantel is a depressive (she's had a rough life healthwise) & it comes out in her writing.Re: Wolf Hall

Re: Wolf Hall
I loved 'The Paradise' hope it comes back for another round. I even loved The Tudors, even if it was slightly daft at times, but it was really colourful, had clout & made you want to look up the characters & the actual stories behind them. Plus there was some real eye candy in those tights & funky riding boots lol
