The lavish historical drama - which takes a fresh look at the life of Henry VIII - continues. In the fourth episode of the second series, questions of faith dominate the court. As the infant Princess Elizabeth is baptised, the Act of Succession is unveiled, declaring that only children of Henry (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, pictured) and Anne (Natalie Dormer, pictured) are legitimate successors to the English throne.
A law is passed where every royal subject must take an oath, on pain of death, recognising the validity of the King's new marriage and the supremacy of Henry VIII in all matters. This includes Henry as head of the church, which pushes Sir Thomas More (Jeremy Northam) further from favour. Meanwhile Anne's postnatal moods force Henry to look elsewhere for pleasures of the flesh. Anne attempts to fix his wandering eye on her choice of mistress.
Please tell me if The Tudors episode on 8th Aug will be repeated and on which channel I missed it tonight and really want to see the 2nd episode It's brilliant.. Thanks.
