The New Murrey and Blue blog

On 7 September last year on the Sky History channel was the first series of Royal Autopsy. It dealt with Charles II and Elizabeth I, and was excellent, if a little gory. I reviewed it on the following link: https://murreyandblue.org/2023/09/07/royal-autopsy-a-documentary-series-dealing-with-the-recreated-post-mortems-of-charles-ii-and-elizabeth-i/

Now the second series is soon to commence, and there are four monarchs having the treatment this time: George IV, Mary Tudor, King Henry IV and Queen Anne.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to view or review this second series, which starts on Tuesday, 2 April at 9pm, so I won’t be sharing my opinion of these new episodes . I will say, however, that as Henry IV is one of my least favourite English monarchs (he’s neck and neck with Henry VII), I won’t be sorry if they cut him up into tiny shreds and accidentally chuck him in the bin.
