YMMV / The Six Wives of Henry VIII

• Hollywood Homely: Henry behaves as if Anne of Cleves is some kind of repulsive hag. She's actually pretty pleasantly average-looking, if nothing like her portrait, and it's clear that Henry's lack of attraction is more tied to his own difficulty performing in bed than any deficiency on Anne's part, though historians think this was probably the case in real life, so Truth in Television applies.
• Retroactive Recognition:
  • Catherine of Aragon is played by Annette Crosbie, who would later be best known for playing Margaret Meldrew in One Foot in the Grave.
  • Lotte from "Anne of Cleves" is played by Mollie Sugden, who would later be best known for playing Mrs. Slocombe in Are You Being Served?
