BBC Four - The Other Boleyn Girl

Anne and Mary Boleyn are drawn into a dangerous rivalry for their king's affections.

Historical drama. Beautiful sisters Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary Boleyn (Scarlett Johansson) are drawn into a dangerous rivalry for King Henry VIII's affections.

A passionate story of love, rivalry and a family torn apart by ambition, based on Philippa Gregory's novel. 

Against the epic backdrop of a defining period in English history, this is an intimate study of a relationship between a man and two sisters: the youngest replaces her sister in the man's affections, starting a chain of events that lead ultimately to her death. The man is Henry VIII, king of England, and the two sisters Mary and Anne Boleyn. Mary is the first to catch the king's eye, but she is cast aside in favour of the dazzling Anne, whose passionate nature and relentless pursuit of the crown propel her towards her doom.

Knowledge, arts, music and culture from the UK and the world.

BBC Four reflects arts, music and culture with an ambitious range of intellectually and culturally enriching programmes, taking an expert and in-depth approach to its subjects.
