In this episode Hugh and Jenna explore the 2008 film The Other Boleyn Girl, directed by Justin Chadwick, written by Peter Morgan and staring Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Eric Bana, based on the book of the same title by Philippa Gregory.

This time, Hugh and Jenna discuss the Tudor period, including its drama, especially why Henry VIII was so keen on having a male heir, the options of women in the Tudor court, and then what this meant for the future of British politics and religion.
