I HAVE AN ELDERLY FRIEND WHO IS EXTREMELY WELL-VERSED IN ENGLISH HISTORY. SHE ENJOYS WATCHING DOCUMENTARIES AND HAD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN A DVD ON THE WIVES OF KING HENRY VIII. SHE HAD SEEN THE DOCUMENTARY YEARS AGO ON TV, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE DVD AT A REASONABLE PRICE. I WAS THRILLED TO FIND IT ON EBAY AT A THIRD OF THE PRICE SHE HAD QUOTED. I IMMEDIATELY ORDERED IT FOR HER AS A GIFT. ON MY NEXT VISIT WHEN WE SAT DOWN TO WATCH, I WAS DISMAYED TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS NOT THE DOCUMENTARY SHE HAD SEEN, EVEN THOUGH THE TITLE WAS THE SAME AND IT HAD ORIGINATED ON TV. HOWEVER, THE SCENERY, COSTUMES, AND HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE WERE SUPERB. THE PORTRAYALS OF THE VARIOUS CHARACTERS WERE VERY WELL DONE. THE COMMENTATOR WAS OUTSTANDING. HE TRULY MADE THIS PERIOD OF ENGLISH HISTORY COME TO LIFE WITH A TREASURE TROVE OF FACTS AND INSIGHTS PRESENTED SEAMLESSLY ALONG WITH THE STORY. I WOULD CERTAINLY RECOMMEND THIS DVD, NOT ONLY FOR ITS HISTORICAL CONTENT, BUT ALSO FOR ITS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE. MY FRIEND WAS SPELLBOUND. SHE NOT ONLY TRULY ENJOYED THE DVD, BUT TOLD ME IT WAS FAR SUPERIOR IN CONTENT TO THE ONE SHE HAD SEEN ON TV. I AM SURE SHE WILL SPEND MANY ENJOYABLE HOURS WATCHING HER "WIVES OF KING HENRY VIII". ONE THING FOR SURE, SHE IS CERTAINLY IMPRESSED WITH EBAY!Read full review
