i saw this mini series when i be in high school . i remember it a be absolutely brilliant and compelling . at the time and i know none of the british actor in the series and but have since learn that some of today star perform in it and include sean connery ( the original james bond among many other role ) and judi dench ( queen elizabeth in shakespeare in love among many other role ) and eilene atkins ( probably best know for create upstairs or downstairs but also superb in many act role ) . like the other commentator and i would like to see it again . i be certain the production remain timeless and and i would hope that it have be or will be release on vhs or dvd . if you get a chance to see it and do not miss it .
