Mary & George Recap: Bearded Men in Shadows
What are these (seemingly) straight men doing in my gay-history show? They’re ruining the vibe!
Look, you can’t be doing a sexy gay history show and suddenly drop us into a random room with a man we’ve never seen before who talks with some other new guy about the Spanish and a battle we also have no idea about. Mary encourages him to put himself forward, and while that does get him a seat on the Privy Council (NICE), he immediately ruins it by acting like an idiot. There’s an apocryphal story that his wife, Elizabeth Throckmorton, carried his embalmed head around with her for the rest of her life, but it’s like 99.5 percent not true.
