Wolf Hall director defends historical accuracy

One scene in historical drama Wolf Hall was shot "actually in the room" where Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn met says director Peter Kosminsky.

He said it was a "fairly extraordinary experience" for the actors to be stood "actually in the room" dressed in accurate costumes and lit "in the way it would have been in those times".

Kosminsky said the production had a "raft" of specialist advisors to ensure historical accuracy but admits there may be "one or two things" which are not completely accurate.
