'Rampant' Henry VIII pulls in 3.2 million viewers

The first episode of The Tudors, the glossy drama featuring the rampant early life of a “sexy” King Henry VIII, pulled in 3.2 million viewers, the BBC said.

The broadcaster said it was “delighted” with the numbers catching last night’s BBC2 show, which takes a fresh look at the dynasty, replacing a bitter and bloated king with a fit and handsome one.
