The Last King (DVD, 2004)

The A&E version of the "Last King" is an edited version of "Charles II: The power and passion" that was shown on BBC TV. A&E broadcast a 188 minute version which was an edited presentation of the 233 minute BBC TV presentation. The DVD made for Region 1 (USA) players was based on the A&E "watered down" version of the series. If you wish to see the entire series without editing, you will need the Region 2 (UK) version that requires either a non-region DVD player or a PC (most computer video programs ignore region coding). Region 2 DVDs of this program are sold by the international sellers (you can find them by going to the United Kingdom merchant site link on Ebay). My rating is based on the editing of this version and is not related to the miniseries content. Be aware, that the BBC DVD version does contain some nudity, so it may be inappropriate for younger viewing audiences.
