Mock Tudor

There might be lots of bare bums and raunchiness, but in other areas The Tudors is seriously lacking...

The Tudors on BBC2 is teaching me lots about history.

Not so much from the dodgy script, but because I keep arguing with my boyfriend over whether things in it are historically accurate, then googling them to see who’s right. Damn, I’m rock and roll.

I also still can’t get over the fact that Henry VIII never looked like Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I know in his younger days he was supposed to be good-looking, but never in a million years was he as weedy.

I know everyone fancies Jonathan, but how he keeps getting acting work amazes me. He’s rubbish.

He’s as wooden as The Mary Rose and about as interesting to watch [believe me, it’s a dead bit of wood being sprayed with water – the museum that goes with it is quite good though – again rock and roll, that’s me!].

He’s not even convincing in the Hugo Boss advert he’s in – upstaged by a model – the shame!
