Tonight is the big night, Wolf Hall airs on PBS at 10pm* here in the states. I've finished both books and written and written about the show, now it's time to watch. I'll probably tweet a teeny bit — NOT during the show — but I'll still wait until Wednesdays to really weigh in on my regular Wolf Hall Wednesday posts. To join the conversation, the hashtag PBS is using is #WolfHallPBS
See you there ...
But first, let's see what Mark Rylance, the actor who plays Thomas Cromwell, has to say ...
If you're so inclined ....
Week #1: Wolf Hall: The first One Hundred Pages
Week #2: Getting to Know All About You
Week #3: All Kinds of Torture
Week #4: It's All about the Face
Week #5: The Art of Historical Fiction
Week #6: Walk the Walk (walking tours)
Week #7: The Last Pages
Week #8: Bring Up the Bodies ... and bring on the drama!
Week #9: Goodbye Anne, Hello Who?
Week #10: Sunday. Sunday. I. Can't. Wait.
* I know. There's a time conflict with the final season of Mad Men. What to do, what to do? PBS is rebroadcasting the episode at 3am if that's helpful. I'm checking to see if I can access it on my ROKU

I just saw a Tudor Exhibit at the Luxembourg Museum here in Paris. Hard to believe all that they did and all that occurred in their lives. I need to read the book and see if I can stream Wolf Hall.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that Linda; I've found the link to the museum exhibit for anyone who might be headed to Paris; it looks fabulous! So many conversations about and with Holbein in Mantel's book. http://en.museeduluxembourg.fr/exhibitions/tudors
DeleteGood luck with the stream. PBS is streaming it here beginning the day after each episode airs, not sure if the BBC still is.
Thanks Sim... I watched the first episode but was lost & confused....you have given me a lot of info to help me out...maybe what I had better do is read the book. Thanks for all the help!! =:0)
ReplyDeleteIf you happen to check out my post on episode 1, you'll see that almost a thousand pages read and I was still a wee bit confused!
