Borgias telly series

[carmen_lj]

So not very long ago I was whinging about the Lack of Lovely Historical Telly and I've only just discovered that, in fact, I need not have worried! A new series about the Borgias is going to be out next year! And just incase its mere existence was not enough to bring me Great Joy, Derek Jacobi's going to be in it! (Also, Jeremy Irons and Montserrat Lombard, hurrah!) Am RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED.

I suspect that it will be as historically accurate as the Tudors.

Though with more orgies. Not that the BBC version was entirely reliable on that issue *g*.

Yeah, but I loved The Tudors, so I'm pretty okay with that. It did manage rather marvelously not to make any of the queens into Irritating Caricatures.
