It was on UK TV last year... I only managed to see snippets of it but thought the costume was pretty good - it's one of those periods where there are many accounts of court dress (although they didn't get the Tudor colours right) and the portraits of the time are very detailed.

The characterisations were (as far as I remember) very good and all were believable as people.

In folk song she would have been known as Bess or Elizabeth of England, because until 1952, she was the only Elizabeth who was monarch in her own right. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons became Queen Elizabeth because she was married to the King. Therefore, when he died, his daughter became the monarch and not his wife. There may have been other queens called Elizabeth, but only Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII was an annointed Queen.

Todays' useless information. The Queen Mother's official title should have been 'Dowager Queen' but she hated the term so much that 'Queen Mother' was invented just for her.
