Thanks Jona - I'll look out for that.
Just wondering what fans of the English Civil War will make of a dvd I've just watched - The Devil's Whore. I know it made a bit of a splash when it was on British Channel 4 TV (in 2009 I think; can't be sure , don;t have a TV!!).
Certain historical facts not right at all (Cromwell blamed for Rainsborough's assassination?) and it was filmed in South Africa to ensure the beauties of the English countrside no doubt!!
hock:
Some good, convincing character acting though. John Simm as Sexby, and our friends from Centurion Michael Fassbender (Rainsborough)and Dominic West (was Virilis and Cromwell in this). And whoever it was who played Charles I was excellent but the credits run SO fast it is impossible to tell...off to imdb to check!
Sadly the main character - of the title - was irritating, a frequent bed-hopper despite claiming her innocence of her psuedonym and really just a vehicle to move from one male character to another.
