Wolf Hall is
a British television serial first broadcast on BBC in January 2015.
The
six-part series is an adaptation of two of Hilary Mantel's novels, Wolf Hall
and Bring Up the Bodies, a fictionalised biography documenting the rapid rise
to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII through to the death of
Sir Thomas More, followed by Cromwell's success in freeing the king of his
marriage to Anne Boleyn.
Wolf Hall
was first broadcast in April 2015 in the United States on PBS and in Australia
on BBC First.
The series
was a critical success and received eight nominations at the 67th Primetime
Emmy Awards and three nominations at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, winning for
Best Miniseries or Television Film.
Critics have
been "almost unanimous" in their praise of the show, with particular
reference to the attention to period detail, the faithful adaptation of the
source novels, and the performances of the leading cast members, particularly
Rylance as Cromwell and Foy as Boleyn.
The shows offer
a great insight into early berets and medieval boineros.
