Just found this on the history channel & it's such a delight! It tells the tale of the epic defeat of the Spaish Armada in 3 parts & stars the lovely Antia Dobson as a superb protrayal of Elizabeth 1st & features historian Dr Lucy Borman. I am really surprized to find the IMDB page for this programme features almost no information on what is the awesome defeat of The Spanish Armada in one of the largest battles in English History. It is in a docudrama format with actors filling out the narrative & Anita Dobson is absolutely stunning as Elizabeth, so much so I would like to see her play the role in a movie! However because this page is empty I have no idea who created & starred in this beyond Dobson & Dr Lucy. So please let us have some more info as this is superb for histroy buffs & students of English history alike!

I'm not an historian so I can't vouch for the accuracy or credibility, but this series is hysterical to watch because it's not the hollywood version by any stretch. Not what the media has always portrayed. Great series but it makes you wonder what the media will tell in the future about the events you've lived. What spin will they put on them. Anyway, kudos to the people behind this production.
