Having been bit by the Tudor bug the previos year, I could not
have imagined any worthy followup. PBS achieved this with Elizabeth R. I was
already a fan of Glenda Jackson from movies and this role is forever linked with
her. Now that she serves in Parliament, I laugh when I imagine her raising her
voice with royal authority! I have this series on video and read books on this
most extraordinary woman with delight. Time has not dimmed my enthusiasm for
more. Being laid to rest next to her half sister Mary likely does not sit well
with Elizabeth in the afterlife. However, she would be justified in her
trepidation as this marvelous mini series fascinatingly illustrates. Truly, a
superb tale of one of the greatest women who ever lived.
