The Tudors Going Strong with Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day

If one liked the Showtime's first season of The Borgias, Amazon's Gold Box Deal of the Day. They're offering The Tudors: The Complete Series on DVD for $64.99. That's a 50% savings for four seasons of Showtime's acclaimed historical drama, plus a nice array of bonus features.

Created by Michael Hirst, The Tudors stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry VIII, he of the many wives and the fondness for beheading. Since the show begins early in his reign, don't expect to see Meyers wandering around in a fat suit to match the portraits of Henry you remember from History class. The show follows Henry as he struggles under the weight of the crown and attempts to bang everything in England with breasts.

Here's what the 15-disc set includes as far as extras:
Hirst's Castle
Reviving History
Royal Manners
Poetic License
Henry's Wives Club
History of the Tudor Rose
Medieval Arms
Tracking the Tudor Dynasty
Wheel of Misfortune
Deleted Scenes
Bloopers
Tudors 500th Anniversary: Hampton Court
Tudors 500th Anniversary: Tower of London
Tudors 500th Anniversary: British Library
