‘The Virgin Queen’s Fatal Affair’ is on Channel 5 at 8pm on Thursday 18th November.
The Sunday Times Culture describes it as:
‘An entertaining 450-year-old mystery, this drama documentary investigates the death of Amy Robsart. She was the wife of Robert Dudley, who it seems, would rather have been married to Elizabeth I. The doomed young spouse was presumed to have died from a broken neck after falling down stairs, but the recent discovery of her autopsy report described thumb-sized incisions in her skull. So, if she was murdered, who did it and why?’
