SEASON 4 SYNOPSIS:
With his brief marriage to Anne of Cleves annulled, King Henry VIII immerses himself in a new relationship, this time with the teenager Catherine Howard. While Katherine's arrival is marred by the loathing of Henry's daughter, Lady Mary, and dogged by the shadows of her own amorous past, England's king faces a bloody religious reformation, an uneasy relationship with Scotland, and intrigue within the royal court fuelled by those with designs on the throne. As Katherine's infidelity and failure to produce a son sentences her to an all-too-familiar fate, the King marries Catherine Parr (Joely Richardson) as England enters an ill-advised war with France that takes its toll on both Henry's fragile health and his army's strength. And as the showdown between Catholics and Protestants exposes religious fault lines across Europe, Henry's egomaniacal madness reaches new heights as his kingdom threatens to implode.

Your Opinions and Comments

I cannot get past the intro to episode 3.  The picture freezes and even when I can get it to move, there is no sound for the remainder of the disk or on subsequent discs.  I have installed the latest firmware update for my LGH home cinema so I have assumed it is a probelm with the discs.  I have purchased and tried 3 copies - 2 from amazona nd 1 forom HMV - with exactly the same results!  anyone else had this problem?
