Henry VIII and His Six Wives

on BBC One London

Starring Keith Michell, Donald Pleasence, Charlotte Rampling

King Henry VIII lies dying, he looks back over his life, the pivot of a rich, rumbustious and romantic period of English history. In spite of his many marriages and crowded court, Henry remained essentially lonely. Keith Michell's acclaimed performance shows that underneath the gluttonous and gloating monarch lived a sensitive man.
