The Tudors and the Printing Press
Some wonderful, decisive moments in history have been brilliantly portrayed in the past few episodes of The Tudors on Showtime. I've currently seen 8 of the new season, thanks to Showtime On Demand. Back on The Tudors, the other great moment of historical drama is the Pope's gradual declaration of cultural war on Henry VIII.
