The White Queen

Yes. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. Yes.

See Historical Ladies In Armor In The White Queen Trailer

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:21 pm, May 3rd, 2013

Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret Beaufort, and Anne Neville are the focus of the BBC’s The White Queen. The series is based on Philippa Gregory’s best selling historical novel series The Cousins’ War, and follows the women’s perspective during the Wars of the Roses. Coincidentally enough, The White Queen was written by a woman named Emma Frost. The 10-episodes series will air this summer on BBC One and in August on Starz in the U.S.

Oh My Stars and Garters

BBC Trailer Shows Anglophiles What They’ll Be Watching Over the Next 12 Months [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, January 1st, 2013

What have we Anglophiles got to look forward to in 2013? Aside from Doctor Who, that is. This two-minute trailer for BBC One’s upcoming season has added several things to my To Watch list, among them season (sorry, series) three of Luther, The Village (O HAI John Simm!), Miranda (aka That Show I’ve Been Meaning to Watch for Like Three Years Now, I’ll Get Around To It in 2013 I Swear), The White Queen (that War of the Roses drama told from the women’s perspective), and Ripper Street.

But not Sherlock. Because that’s nowhere close to filming yet, as Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are off being über-successful, those jerks.

The BBC Is Telling the Story of the War of the Roses From the Women’s Perspective, and It Looks Amazing

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, November 21st, 2012

 

The recently released promo pics from the upcoming BBC drama The White Queen, which tells the story of the War of the Roses from the perspective of the females involved, have really, really made me want to watch the show. Granted, it was announced a few months ago and I’m only hearing about it now, so my excitement comes less from a sense of “Hey, these are cool promo stills” than “OMG, a British history epic from a female perspective! Give it!”
