Anyone watch it? I like the way it's true to the book so far but the endless bedroom scenes wasted far too much time.

Same here. Also the BBC4 series 'She Wolves' was about one of them the other week; I only caught the tail end of the programme..I think it was about Margaret [?]. A series I'd like to watch in it's entirety at some point. As I've mentioned before, my daughter did some research on the power of mediaeval women when she was at uni which sparked an interest which neither of us found the time to follow up. Also [going back to Michael Woods latest series [any excuse blush]], celibacy seemed as powerful a tool as using sexuality/procreation to manipulate.

Sounds as if your daughter was very much on trend (or ahead of it) as the power of women is a very big theme at the moment - even as early as Aethelfled apparently according to the luscious MW!!

Anyone who hasn't been impressed by The White Queen might enjoy The White Queen Rubbish and Tosh page on facebook. It's very funny.
