Set in the fictitious, contemporary court of Henry IX, King of the United Kingdom, this is the almost universal story of a forty-something man going through a mid-life crisis, except this one just happens to be the reigning monarch, King of Great Britain and the Commonwealth.
This three part sitcom has been penned by the legendary, multi award-winning comedy writing team behind Porridge, The Likely Lads and Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.
The series sees Henry struggle to make changes to his life in the face of centuries of tradition and a Royal household who are fairly sure they have his - and if not, certainly their own - best interests at heart.
Written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais
Produced by Pete Thornton, Jon Rolph, Tarquin Gotch, Tanya Qureshi and Simon Lupton
Directed By Vadim Jean
A Retort in association with Serious Comedy Production for Gold.
