Masterpiece: Wolf Hall

Tony Award-winning actor Mark Rylance and Emmy Award-winner Damian Lewis star as Thomas Cromwell and King Henry VIII in this adaptation of Hilary Mantel's best-selling novels. A historical drama for a modern audience, Wolf Hall charts Cromwell's meteoric rise in the Tudor court - from blacksmith's son to Henry VIII's closest advisor, trapped between his desire to do what is right and his instinct to survive.
