Things you'd never hear the characters say....
Elizabeth: 'I want to marry Norfolk, asap'.
Sir William Cecil: '7 out of 10 marriages end in divorce, Your Majesty'.
The Pope: 'I support Elizabeth. Mary Queen of Scots is a fraud'.
Sir Francis Walsingham: 'Lets arrange a State Visit to Rome'.
Duke of Norfolk: 'I've just added Walsingham as a friend on Facebook'.
French Ambassador: 'You know, Spain is lovely this time of year'.
Any others?
