What are the differences between BBC and Starz version?
I watched the BBC version. Can someone tell me the differences? Much appreciated.

shareWay, way, WAY more sex/nudity on the Starz version.
There's entirely different shots, angles, and scenes -- where in the BBC version someone will be in bed talking and wearing a nightdress; in the Starz version, they're topless. I only noticed one additional (awkward) sex scene, but Anne Neville's rape is significantly longer (and her mother in law stays to watch the entire thing).
Thanks 😃
shareI'm on episode 8 of the Starz version (streaming through Amazon Prime). Some of the earlier episodes were like soft-core porn.

I don't know.
I think the series' implication was that she had some incestuous obsession with her son. It was creepy and weird. :P
Bloody sheets were the traditional way of verifying that the bride had been a virgin. They would sometimes be hung up in public the day after the wedding to show the world.
As for why she would want to watch, that's obvious. She hated Warwick and got a charge out of forcing him to give up his daughter and then seeing her abused.

I do not believe the show was suggesting she was THAT cruel. As we got to know her she seemed to be not as vicious as the York's made her to be. If she looked at Anne in such a manner then why was she so concerned about her well being during the battle where she insisted Anne flee with he?
shareShe was concerned because of the possibility of Anne being pregnant. Her son was her only remaining claim to the throne, and if he dies but has a son she will still have something. With him and his father both being dead and no remaining heir she would never return to power. She would have been welcomed by a Tudor King and his mother, but she would not have the power she wanted and would not have been able to accept that.
shareHoney that was rape, nothing borderline about it. The laws were different then but the mechanics were the same.
Just in terms of the series, the short time the STARZ version shows his mother's apparent pleasure in it blew away my wondering if the stories of her brutality were exaggerated.
