Been watching The Hollow Crown, which my mum got me for Christmas a couple years back. A combo of Richard II / Henry IVs / Henry V.
Love that speech from Richard II: "For God's sake let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of kings..." Interesting to watch the different takes on it.
And I see they're making a second series with the Henry VIs and Richard III starring Cumberbatch.
This is actually the second time that the Richard II / Henry IVs / Henry V plays were turned into a mini-series. In the 60s there was a series called An Age of Kings which did all the above mentioned plays. And included James Bond as Hotspur.
