Henry 8.0

If Henry the Eighth were alive today, he'd likely be an internet addict. The BBC has produced a few comedy clips (starring Brian Blessed as Henry 8.0) that show how he might get upset with things like getting blocked on Facebook, his rivals' Twitter updates, and of course, online dating.  His current wife, Catherine Parr, has to deal with his constant requests for food and his bickering at the internet.

I really hope they continue this series, just because Brain Blessed is such a perfect, funny monarch. Check out his Twitter account and Facebook Fan Page, too!

...and Happy New Year to all!
