And Anne killed the fire with coolly watering out her French comeback. "What do you know of how I spend my time?" She's tired of the Cardinal's unsuccessful attempts and excuses as is King Henry. Her eyes demand the results right now. She's already beating Cromwell down. But Cromwell will not back down. The way Anne sits, she feels she's already the new wife and the Queen. Ryan and Claire make a great duo in this scene.

To be frank, Claire's portrayal of Anne, in my opinion, was hands down the best I have ever seen. Physically she seems on point with how history describes her, but the way she nails the mannerisms gives me goosebumps. She is exactly how I would have expected Anne to act, haughty, witty, bright, yet irritable. She did a spectacular job and I truly wished we could have seen more of her in the show.

No one has portrayed Anne Boleyn more convincingly than Claire Foy. Her imperiousness and chilly tone are perfect. The interspersed French comments were a nice touch considering Anne had spent years at the French court. In fact it might have been authentic to have Anne speak with a French accent. Mark Rylance was superb as Thomas Cromwell. The actress who played Mary Boleyn was wonderful -- she always has this conspiratorial dynamic including significant looks, smiles, etc., with Cromwell.

The king would’ve wanted a clean break with no living wife and needed her to move on to the next life before startling with a new marriage.

In the books, Cromwell realises this after Henry's jousting accident, when everyone thinks he's dead, and he realises that he is utterly dependent on Henry for his power and his safety. So whilst normally, as a man, Cromwell would have more power than Anne, as a commoner he lacks the powerful family to suppport him.

I think the reason Anne's gowns fit oddly in the front was that Claire Foy was pregnant during filming, and that messed up the fittings on the bodice. None of the other female characters have similar issues with their costumes.

If l was in the King's Graces, I wouldn't have been as confident as Queen Anne Boleyn was, l'd be down-right scared because there's just to much pressure on Monarchy these Days and to me, Everyone should leave the Royal Family alone, l'm talking for both the Past, Present, and Future Monarchs of every Country, LEAVE THEM ALONE!!

Hmm, it did said that she's a loving and kind woman. Even won't hesitate to step in if someone in dire situation. Although it is true that she is ruthless, but only to those she considered her enemies. She even have a lot of people hated her and wanted to bring her down. I'm not a historian and political genius. This is the Royal Court so of course you had your guards up in case of ambush.

Rylance was badly miscast as Cromwell.

A shame that covid probably killed the second series of this show.

That and Kate Phillips (the Actress Playing Jane Seymour in this) is probably preocupied with Leading the Show 'Miss Scarlet and The Duke'.

Wish they’d found a more believable Anne. She was black haired and of darker or “olive” skin, while Claire looks completely Irish.

Natalie Dormer owns the role of Anne Boleyn. There are no close seconds...

Ann spoke English with a French accent. Watch the movie Ann of aThousand Days starring Genevieve Bujold. It’s an amazing movie.

Natalie Dormer is a lovely actress but The Tudors was a show written for idiots. Wolf Hall actually requires people to pay attention without someone getting their tits out every 5 minutes.

That was a rather pantomime caricature performance though. Which summed up The Tudors, I couldn't take it seriously. Wolf Hall on the other hand is on a whole other level.

@@MrPicklerwoof Since that post, I've learned there are many actresses whose portrayal of Anne Boleyn rival Dormer's. Lesson learned.

Eveything about this show is too slow and lingering. People do not pause in their speech like this in real life....1500 or not.

Not sure, at court one had to choose ones words carefully. Americans nowadays habitually engage their mouths before putting their brains in gear. That habit may be a function of time and place, ours being quite different from theirs.

@@tonygumbrell22 like your not putting your brain in gear by insulting an entire nation of 329 million people because I said the show was boring. Take your anti American hate and be a good communist and tell someone else how to act and think.

@@illerac84 I think the idea was that there are no heroes. Anne is prepared to kill and manipulate, but so is Cromwell. If Anne had won, she would have shown no mercy. But because Cromwell won, it was he who got the chance to kill the other.
