Make way for the Queen of England

I feel that this episode was a great start to the series, and had a good deal of drama that has been set up straight away to then unfold later on in the series.

Some great actors that have been cast in this series and a good job they did by casting the wonderful Rebecca Fergusson.

Episode 1 is exactly what is needed for the start of a new series to hook in the viewers at home. This has definitely made me want to continue the series, to see the beautiful craftsmanship of that Philippa Gregory has written, elegantly displayed on our screens at home.

Trivia
The oak tree under which Edward and Elizabeth first met was located outside the Northamptonshire village of Potterspury and was known locally as 'The Queen's Oak' until it finally died in 1997 (although subsequent testing suggested that it only dated to 1650!).
