This ITV mini-series will tell the story of Elizabeth I (Helen Mirren) and what may, or may not have been, her affair with the much younger Robert Devereux, earl of Essex which ended with the latter’s beheading. This is one of two competing UK mini-series on Elizabeth: the other covering all of her reign features Anne Marie Duff.
