Edit: if you heard the old busted ass version of this episode, no you didn't This week, the Girls manage to stay mostly on topic as Henry VIII locks up one wife and lockets up another. The body count is high in this episode: eulogies include Mark Smeaton, the worst assassin ever, and - surprisingly - Catherine Parr. Also while Producer Matty was uploading this episode, Ellen sent a text that said "i just found out mark smeaton was a real person on the weekend nearly lost it" like if The Tudors was making up a historical guy they would name him Mark??? Crazy behaviour. Follow us on Twitter: @2boleyngirls

S2E9: Deletin' Mark Smeaton

William Compton

Thomas Tallis

George Boleyn

Thank you so much to Omar from Leeds for the excellent questions regarding Showtime's The Tudors series.    Omar wanted to know if William Compton and Thomas Tallis, and George Boleyn and Mark Smeaton really had homosexual relationships.   Historian and author Claire Ridgway considers whether these storylines were just fictional devices and looks at whether there were any links between these men, and, if so, what the evidence is for them having relationships.

Were William Compton and Thomas Tallis, and George Boleyn and Mark Smeaton lovers?

This is a very important episode plot wise, but The Additional Boleyn Girls don’t seem to care! As Anne and Henry travel to France, and the plot continues to thicken, The Girls discuss Pizza Express and potato chips. Plus, a new character is introduced, and he’s not named Thomas!!
