The White Queen concludes with a climactic battle. Here's Louisa's review...
This review contains spoilers.
One difficulty with historical dramas for anyone who spent their schooldays poring, not scrawling Morrissey lyrics, over Trevelyan’s History Of England is that it’s hard not to have the endings ‘spoiled’. Even the most assiduous avoider of historical fact can’t have swerved the knowledge that Richard III was, you know, a thing, making all that ‘will they crown little Edward?’ intrigue from a week or two ago a bit redundant.
The same goes for this week’s finale of The White Queen, the drama that’s taught us good things come to those who wait for Rupert Graves to show up halfway through a ten-part series. Hear mention of The Battle of Bosworth Field and bells about kingdoms, horses, and dead Richard IIIs start ringing. Will Richard defeat Henry Tudor?...
