Called for his Pipe, and his Tudors Three…

Published on July 3, 2009 by in Blu-Ray, DVD, Entertainment

Yes, I’m happy that the amazing series The Tudors has been renewed for a FOURTH season by Showtime!   We’ve not yet been fortunate enough to see Season 3 in the UK.  It seems that Season 3 started in the US on 5th April, so I live in hope of an early Autumn slot for Season

Currently Reading: David Weber

I’ve done my usual trick of starting more than one book. Currently I’m reading Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber, the author of the well known Honor Harrington series.
