Kings & Queens

Ok, so I might be over doing it a bit with the historical DVDs, but what can you do? Variety is the spice of life, right? And it’s not like a bit of good historical fact isn’t fun.

So Kings & Queens is a new 2 disc documentary produced by the BBC that looks at the good and the bad sides of some of old Blighty’s Royals. And boy, were some of them bad, very bad.

Over the course of a thousand years, the British monarchy has evolved from divinely appointed warrior kings to benign political figureheads, and it hasn’t been the most peaceful of transitions, plenty of family feuds and lost wars to keep the interest up!

Split into 12 episodes, this DVD looks at the lives of 12 Kings and Queens and some decisive moments in British history.

Dramatic and revealing, this is a great documentary for anyone interesting in British history. It’s a fascinating look at a country transformed.

Now, for all you dedicated movie buffs, I do have a few good movies that I need to watch, so don’t fear, no more historical docos for a little while!
