A Tudor Feast at Christmas

A group of historians and archaeologists prepare a Tudor feast as it would have been over 400 years ago, including the use of period clothes, recipes from the era, food sourced from the land and the absence of modern conveniences.

Directed by Chris Mitchell, A Tudor Feast at Christmas leans on a strong ensemble — Dominic Frisby, Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2006.
