Indeed. I expected him to be off in the summer and I think there was some overseas interest in him. And nothing in what I've seen of him this season suggests he's improved.
The Uprising is a portrayal of the 1381 so called 'Peasants Revolt'. As it's a historical event I know well, I was keen to see the film, but knew there were some wild inaccuracies in it. It does pretty well up until the meeting between the rebels and King Richard II at Smithfield. Sadly, it then descends into complete nonsense.
That said, I actually quite enjoyed it and liked how 14th century London looked. Wat Tyler and John Bell, the 'heroes' of the rebellion, are played well enough, although Jack Straw (not the politician) is missed out, and Richard II is good too.
It's a shame it followed most other films set in medieval times in depicting ordinary people as dirty and unkempt. That's another historical inaccuracy and a rather Monty Python-ish idea of those times.
