Set nearly 30 years into her reign, Queen Elizabeth has given up on the idea of finding a husband and spawning an heir, so this episode deals mainly with political intrigue rather than the romantic pressures of the previous two episodes. Both queens are presented with noble personalities, so there's no Livia. Livilla, Messalina, Agrappinilla, Eleanor or Isabel to make a she devil out of either character.
Both women knew from birth that family loyalty in royalty is inconsequential when it comes to maintaining order for the throne. In their eyes, the other is the one doing the plotting, unaware of the set-up being plotted around them. In her second episode, Vivian Pickles is quite good, a bit more matronly and age appropriate than Vanessa Redgrave was in the same year's "Mary Queen of Scots" where Jackson also played Elizabeth. Both portrayals are worth acclaim though. The men here in charge of the plot are quite sinister, especially Dudley who tells a condemned man that death is quick but the path to it is tedious before he taunts him with torture. History has been brutal for millenniums, but the subtlety of the hint of that brutality makes it all the more vicious
Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth I - Elizabeth R (Elizabeth Regina)
