REASONS WHY WE love The Tudors:
1). Sexy men being naughty.
2). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.
3). Mad bad dames (or rather, damsels).
4). Man on man action.
5). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers.
6). Big swords.
7). Peter O'Toole's Pope.
9). How everyone's Irish and pretending they're not.
10). Jonathan Rhys-Meyers taking his clothes off.
That just about covers it. And this new advert for the forthcoming season three, with King Henry VIII sitting atop a throne of naked hunks, hasn't exactly dampened my enthusiasm...
