The Virgin Queen (2006)

Anne-Marie Duff has an intensely powerful persona with larger-than-life physicality and striking looks - to me the best actress and best version I’ve seen in portraying the characterists that QE1 was historically famous for. Tom Hardy makes a great Robert Dudley. They did a fantastic job of aging these actors, so convincing that I thought that Duff was replaced by an older actress for the end, until I went to iMDb and checked it. Another great BBC1 show.
