The dances, at any rate, are authentic

I think the point of watching The Tudors is not playing the "recognise that tune" game. It's like Renaissance dancing class. "Wait, is that Upon a Summer's Day?" - "That sounds like the Pavane la Bataille. Ahahaha, it IS!"

It's fun though.

Much like half the fun in The Merchant of Venice was the "Tourdion! ... Folia! ... Bransle Cassandra!" effect. (The other half was Jeremy Irons.)

I'm SUCH a geek.

(They stole the Gondor theme too though. WTF. Whitehall =/= White Tree, guys.)
