In 1558, at a time when England was an insignificant island full of internal conflict ruled by an unstable monarchy, a young Protestant wisp of a girl ascended the throne, embarking on a 45-year reign that witnessed, among other events, the birth of the world's most powerful navy, the flowering of a literary revolution, and England's eventual rise to undisputed recognition as a major European power. Hosted by historian David Starkey, author of Elizabeth: The Struggle for the Throne, this three-hour-plus documentary chronicles the life and times of Elizabeth I, serving up a juicy, compelling story filled with murder, scandal, political intrigue, assassination, revolutions, and romance (even for the reputed virgin queen). Filmed on location, Elizabeth combines interviews with historians and dramatic re-creations, immersing the viewer in the 16th century milieu that gave rise to one of England's most renowned monarchs. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
