ReplyDeleteone would think so....
DeleteI need to catch up on The White Princess. I'm sure I'll be adding The Spanish Princess to my must see pile as well.
ReplyDeleteWhite Princess was definitely my favourite epic series last year next to Jamestown. I really loved the production design in it... amazing colours, rich greens, opulent costumes and wigs... great actors... it was really million light years above White Queen which was mildly bad.
