To Kill a King
"A recounting of the relationship between General Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell, as they try to cope with the consequences of deposing King Charles I. "
It was a grand account of what transpired before Cromwell became Lord Protector of England and making England into England into a republican Commonwealth. As well it portrayed how instrumental he was in having King Charles I executed. I found it interesting to see how Fairfax worked too and just where his loyalties lied.
Dougray Scott ... Thomas Fairfax
Tim Roth ... Oliver Cromwell
Olivia Williams ... Lady Anne
Rupert Everett ... King Charles I
Corin Redgrave ... Lord de Vere
James Bolam ... Baron Denzil Holles
Finbar Lynch ... Cousin Henry
Melissa Knatchbull ... Lady Margaret
Adrian Scarborough ... Sgt. Joyce
Jake Nightingale ... Capt. Pride
Jeremy Swift ... Earl of Whitby
Richard Bremmer ... Abraham
John-Paul Macleod ... Richard Cromwell
Jessica Hazel ... Cromwell's eldest daughter
Katy Cross ... Cromwell's middle daughter
Julia Bridgeman ... Cromwell's youngest daughter

Haven't seen it, not sure I'll bother.
What happened in those years still echoes down to the present day. The real story is actually more gripping than anything a film maker can dream up. Cromwell gets a bad press in some ways-on the other hand he was a Christian fundamentalist tyrant that put back real democracy for decades.
On the other hand if it gets people interested to want to know more that's no ad thing at all.
