What do you send for this? Frankincense?

A box set of a Canadien made TV series "The Tudors". Having insufficient history of their own they are not beneath making a bob or two out of someone else's.

I thought that it was a US series shot in Ireland. Where did the Canadians sneek in?

Loved that series. Looks like the 2nd year coming up, but I don't think I'll get it in Thailand, so a box set is not a bad idea. << http://www.cbc.ca/tudors/ >> . Actually, thanks for that info. I had no idea it was a CBC show (assumed BBC), but I'm pretty sure it was filmed in England (or Ireland?). The Great North has no castles like that.

Brad, I think the CBC possibly produced it, or partly funded it.

You are right. The Producers are given as:

Reveille Productions, LA

Working Title Films, London

B├│rd Scann├бn na h├Йireann, Galway

And last but not least:

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC)

I think I read it in the "Radio Times". Frankly, as a practicing Scot, the Tudors make me puke and I refuse to watch any of it.

Keep practicing ... one day you might get as perfect as the English :king: :queen:

anachronism - from the Greek ╬▒╬╜╬м (ana: against, anti-) and ╧З╧Б╧М╬╜╬┐╧В (chronos: time)тАФis an error in chronology, especially a chronological misplacing of persons, events, objects, or customs in regard to each other. The item is often an object, but may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a custom, or anything else so closely associated with a particular period in time that it would be incorrect to place it outside its proper domain. - Wkipedia

I suspect this kind of thing helps our American cousins understand why the Scots have developed such an acute sense of compassion.

They were shooting some scenes for "The Tudors" last week in Christchurch Dublin

I'm not sure that sending Tom Jones to Nevada is quite on the same scale of compassion as letting mass murderers loose.

I'm still curious as to why Smiles believes the original notice to be an anachronism.
