Tonight the last episode of "The Tudors" series 1 aired on BBC1 here in Blighty. According to the mighty Statcounter real-time tracker tool, this blog started to getting an abundance of hits at around 21:50.
This was the moment when Sam Neill (playing myself) must have misread the script, as he picked up his lunch knife (with which he had just neatly sliced an apple), and proceeded to cut his own throat....nice.
So a lot of people are googling " Cardinul Wolsee how did he snuff it" and similar.
Let me reassure readers that this is what is known as a "ratings device", designed to generate controversy and get people to tune in to series 2 whenever it graces our shores. According to my sources Wolsey died of NATURAL CAUSES in Leicester, during his journey down to London to face possible execution for treason.
Here are all posts on Cardinal Wolsey's Death including "that quote" for those interested.
Anyway, the producers of the show made sure we were soon cheered up by a nice scene involving Henry, Anne Boleyn and a tree.

I was rather disappointed with that scene. What was wrong with him just dying of natural causes? Still, I suppose, it gave Jonathan Thingy the chance to display his repertoire of facial expressions - up till that point he seemed to stick to 'puzzled' and 'irritated'.
Not forgetting his "guilty" look with Catherine of A....?
