Presenters Lucy Worsley and David Starkey will offer audiences an insight into the world of Henry VIII and reveal how the household came together for an event which was the culmination of almost three decades of Henry's reign.

Appropriately enough for this time of year, Acorn Media’s latest batch of DVD releases includes The Fall. It’s a Belfast based psychological crime drama in which Dsi Stella Gibson attempts to hunt down a sadistic serial killer who seems to delight in deviousness. Somewhat unusually for a crime drama, the killer is identified fairly early on as Paul Spector. Thereafter, Spector and Gibson become embroiled in a game of cat and mouse that lasts through five suspensful episodes. The relationship between Spector and Gibson is similar to the one involving Hannibal Lector and Clarice except for the fact that Lector was banged up while Spector is on the loose.
X-Files actress Gillian Anderson takes on the role of Gibson and she seems quite at home on British TV these days having enjoyed success in recent hits such as Great Expectations. Her nemesis is the rather less...

The first official painting of the Duchess of Cambridge was revealed to harsh reviews January 10, 2013. Critics say it looks nothing like Kate in real life–she looks older and has a sour expression! Do you think the Duchess deserves a better rendering? Sound off below!
Kate Middleton, 31, one of the most elegant and beautiful royals (and women) in the world, just got her portrait painted and revealed at London’s National Portrait Gallery to the shock of many. The painting was described as ‘rotten’ and looks ‘nothing like Kate in real life’. The portrait was painted by Paul Emsley, who’s known for his photographic style.
Kate Middleton’s portrait gets harsh criticism
Sunday Times art critic Waldemar Januszczak called the portrait ‘pretty ordinary… He made her look older than she is and her eyes don’t sparkle in the way that they do and there’s something rather dour about the face.

Joseph Campbell
Kieran Kinsella
The late great American writer Joseph Campbell spent the best part of his life studying the origins of myths and religions from various parts of the World. Campbell was fascinated with the “one great story’ of humanity as told through the symbols and traditions of Asians, Europeans, Native Americans and other people from the darkest reaches of the globe. As you might expect, Campbell like any mythologist was a very good story teller. Among other things, he is credited with inspiring George Lucas to write Star Wars.
During the latter part of his life, Campbell toured the U.S. and delivered a series of lectures in which he shared his findings. Athena Learning’s Joseph Campbell: Mythos DVD set includes no less than 15 lovingly remastered lectures. The six disc set includes 14 hours of in-depth analysis and first class story telling. The lectures are broken down into...

Art critic Waldemar Januszczak has responded after Noel Fielding urged his online fans to insult him on Twitter.
