In this episode of the online comedy sketch series, Henry gets his own back on the King of France using the power of social networking. Starring Brian Blessed as Henry VIII. The Tudor king is alive & well, and living in a suburban semi with his long-suffering sixth wife Catherine Parr. He has embraced modern technology and lives his life online - insulting the King of France on Facebook, surfing for honeys, and blocking the Pope on Twitter. These clips offer an insight into what happens when a 16th century king meets 21st century suburbia. Eat your heart out David Starkey, here's the real thing!
