Ghosts

Julianne Moore rocks the world of King James VI of Scotland

Billed by Sky Atlantic as an “audacious historical psychodrama”, and in keeping with the tumultuous times in which it is set, Mary and George is a rollicking, few-holds-barred watch full of effing and blinding. The costumes are terrific, George, Mary and the King make quite the trio, and to seal the deal Simon Russell Beale pops up as one of Mary’s husbands. Based on a true story, too.
