00:36The White Queen is a historical drama television series created by Emma Frost, Lisa McGee, and James Kent.
00:43This dramatic fight for power, led by intrigue, betrayal, and false politics, takes on The War of the Roses, which was the inspiration for modern classics like Game of Thrones.
00:53Starting in 1464, with a nine-year fight for the throne, and who should sit on it, from what part of the family, we witness how three women secretly hold the strings in their hands, fighting for the power in subtle shadows.
01:06You murdered my firstborn son. You killed my boy with a storm and I will not let you take my next.

02:12Number 8
02:13Yes, of course Napoleon's a great man. He stood above the revolution. He put an end to its abuses and kept all that was good about it.

02:23War and Peace is a historical drama television series created by Andrew Davies and Bethan Jones.

02:45Another is a young woman searching for true love.
02:48And the last is an ambitious young man seeking higher purpose over the superficial society surrounding him.
02:53These are ideas we could learn from in Russia. Our drawing rooms are full of overfed aristocrats who have no idea what real life is who have even forgotten how to speak their own language.
03:04I mean by God we could do with a revolution here.

04:11The Great is a comedy-drama television series created by Tony McNamara.
04:16Exploring the very different or quite often absurd nature of politics, The Great takes a rare female standpoint in following the rise of Catherine the Great from a very cynical and satirical standpoint.
04:26On her rise to power and uncontrollability, she must find a solution to the only thing standing in her way, her dangerous and powerful husband.
04:35Only without him can she rule over her enemies.
04:38You are dancing close to heresy.
