 The lavish historical drama - which takes a fresh look at the life of Henry VIII - returns for a second series. In the opener, divorce Tudor-style is imminent.
As the Catholic Church struggles in vain to control the demands for an annulment by Henry VIII (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, pictured), the King appoints himself head of the Church of England. A cook is blackmailed into poisoning a high-ranking bishop; then boiled alive for his crime.
When Anne Boleyn (Natalie Dormer, pictured) insists Henry break all contacts with Katherine of Aragon (Maria Doyle-Kennedy), the noble Queen is banished from court.
