YMMV / Elizabeth R

Go To

  • Nightmare Fuel: Elizabeth's speech to Walsingham after the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, about how corpses decay after death and are eaten by insects. "Death is a fearful process," indeed.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Richard Topcliffe from "Horrible Conspiracies" is played by Brian Wilde, who would later be best known for playing Mr. Barrowclough in Porridge and Foggy Dewhirst in Last of the Summer Wine.
  • Special Effects Failure: The lady-in-waiting's smallpox scars are too obviously makeup.
  • Squick: Everything the Queen's torture-master says to his victims is one part this, and one part Nightmare Fuel.
