Spot on. Awful! I can hardly watch anything BBC these days.
But am very much enjoying this Spanish historical romp about Isabel
1st and Ferdinand 2nd:

It's a Spanish produced historical fiction television series filmed in
Spain, directed by Jordi Frades and produced for national broadcaster
Televisión Española.
Can you get it?
In our household we are 16th century all-things-Tudor fans (save "The
Tudors" LOL). Henry VIII's wife Catherine of Aragon was Isabel 1's
daughter, so it gives a different perspective (relative to our neck of
the woods).
Perhaps we need her ilk to be reborn: "She reorganized the
governmental system, brought the crime rate to the lowest it had been
in years, and unburdened the kingdom of the enormous debt her brother
had left behind" [Wiki}
