    I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It was ok. I don't think it's worth buying. A combination of the narrator walking and talking on location and transitioning to actors delivering part of the story sometimes with a voice over by the narrator. It was slow at times. It was nothing more than the standard faire that you can get from most websites or a pretty coffeetable book.

    Many of the locations and cutaways are re-used throughout the series. It would have been nice to see more of the places where all of this happened, but I'm sure the film crew was restricted. Too bad. I do need to look to see when PBS will re-air it. I want to catch the stained glass window which shows Anne of Cleves coat of arms. And see if they show Catherine of Aragon's as well.
