Many thought this overblown with its diversions into diplomatic tensions, even hinting you need to be a student of European history to understand the complexities instigated or combatted by Thomas Cromwell. But others became engrossed in the drama and avidly followed the fortunes and inevitable bloody conclusions of the protagonists. Having thought that France's revolutionaries and present-day terrorists are the extremes of barbarism, I realise now that 16C England was in the same league. Nevertheless, a very satisfying conclusion to the Trilogy, lockdown or no lockdown.
