King Henry VIII had one of the most spectacular reigns in English history. In his bid to produce an heir, he would dismantle the established church in England, loot its possessions, and set himself up as an absolute monarch. He would also become famous for his voracious appetite for women and his many wives. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is outstanding as King Henry in this award-winning HBO drama series, with a stellar cast featuring Sam Neill and Natalie Dormer. (10 x 1hr)
