Angela Pleasence as Catherine Howard in the BBC mini series, 'The Six Wives of Henry VIII'. Starring Keith Michell as Henry VIII and Patrick Troughton as Norfolk.
Proof positive that Henry's last three marriages were never even consummated. I knew this about Anne of Cleves, whom he found to be repellent, and also Catherine Parr, who was more of a nursemaid and a conversation partner, but I was unsure about Catherine Howard.
I like Angela Pleasence as an actress but she is awful as Katherine Howard. Too
hardfaced and cunning. Katherine should be young and pretty - of the actresses around at the time Nicola pagett or judi Bowker would have been far better casting
The entire series was on you tube until a month ago. This is 38 yrs old why would you tube take it off? Ridiculous. Also all of Elizabeth R. Surely this series is not such a money earner that the BBC was offended by it being posted.
This could be what he was doing suring season 6b (The bit between Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee) this would explain why Jamie is not here... Jamie would not fit in here, especially with scots being treated as they were... Margaret was excluded from the succession
@ThePanzerfist44 Thank you. I'd love to see Imogen Poots in the role if they made a film about her today

@rees276 - Judi Bowker would have been heartbreaking in the role of Katherine , good call .

This whole lineage is not legitimate. The Hastings are.

Maybe you're right. But they don't care. Rules are rules, that's what they'd say...
