Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Good concept, poorly executed.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I assumed that this documentary featuring historian Lucy Worsley would be about the history of Hampton Court...a royal palace just outside of London. However, instead the focus is clearly on the court etiquette and ceremony...particularly at the time of young Price Edward's christening. This makes it a VERY specific sort of film...sort of like peering through time to see this event and this even alone. So, although you hear about Cardinal Woolsey in passing, you really learn little about the place's history and about the palace after the reign of King Henry VIII. For me, this sort of emphasis on clothing, manners and the christening was a bit on the dull side. Now I am not saying the show is bad or not worth seeing. It's just something that has more limited appeal as opposed for a more traditional sort of narrative.
