1. Wolf Hall
This was the best TV drama of the year, and may even be one of the best ever made by the BBC – it was really that good. Based on Hilary Mantel’s two novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies it transported viewers into the world of Tudor intrigue. It focused not on King Henry VIII or his unfortunate queens but on his chief minister, Thomas Cromwell. And it found in Mark Rylance an exquisitely well-judged and intelligent performance that conveyed every ounce of his pain and fear. Rylance was ably assisted by Damian Lewis as the tyrannical king and Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn. The monarch’s first divorce and fatal betrothal to Anne is a well-known story but the crowning achievement of the drama was to imbue familiar history with dramatic tension, marrying the personal and the public world of its protagonists with exquisite skill. An epic achievement.
