In this fascinating series, Tracy Borman examines the final days of the iconic Queen Anne Boleyn. The arrest, trial and execution of Boleyn in 1536 played out like a tense thriller unrivalled in the Tudor age. A dramatic combination of political manoeuvring, sex, scandal at court and regicide, the fall of Henry VIII’s most cunning, fearless and (some say) devious wife is a twisting tale like no other. Was she really an adulterer? Did Thomas Cromwell invent a series of incredible charges, or was his evidence solid? In each episode, which features dramatic reconstruction of key events in real time, Tracy will present the latest theories on Anne’s final days. We visit all the sumptuous royal locations and historic places that played a key role in Anne’s life; from the Tower of London where she was held, to Westminster where her co-defendants were tried and then to Hampton Court where Anne’s fate was finally sealed.

A group of amateur divers hunt for “the Holy Grail of shipwrecks” – the last American warship sunk off the US coast in WWII. But when they finally find portions of the long-lost Eagle 56, they discover a decades-old cover-up, and evidence that the ship was actually the victim of a rogue Nazi U-boat. If the divers can find the entire ship, the last survivors of The Greatest Generation may finally get the WWII medals they deserve.
Tracy Borman fronts this series based on her best-selling book of the same name. Following in the footsteps of her successful series “Private Lives of the Monarchs” Borman paints the portrait of England’s most famous king and the enablers, the fools, the teachers and the men at arms who knew him best and shaped his outlook on the world. Henry VIII was taught by some of the most famous scholars of his time and developed a reflective and intelligent manner we seldom hear about. Raised to be a great prince he enjoyed being the center of attention, but as the second born he had few of the pressures of his older brother. He could enjoy court life and by all accounts he thrived in the companionship of men, reveled in jousts and loved hunting. Even after the death of his elder brother, after he became the Crown Prince, he maintained a careless joie de vivre. He could also be naïve and was often too trusting of those around him, often to his detriment. And despite his lascivious reputation he could be prude. Finally, in his elder years he became the paranoid tyrant we have come to know. As Chief Curator of Britain’s Historic Royal Palaces, Tracey shows us the places where Henry and those who were closest to him lived.
