The Tudors

Sam Willis and James Daybell explore the unexpected history of the Tudors! Is it all about Henry VIII? Anne Boleyn? Hampton Court and the Mary Rose? Well yes, but it's also all about monsters, toilets, oranges, mirrors, the gift, windows, hats, the chair, bones, lists, fire, eyes, faces, bells, shrinking, accidents, fruit-eating, letter writing, cannibalism and rings!
