Can the Doctor, Graham, Yaz and Ryan keep the populace of Bilehurst Cragg safe from the forces surrounding the land?Somehow this is my favorite depiction of James so far.

- DirectorGillies MacKinnonStarsVulpe AdrianCarmen UngureanuClémence PoésyMini series depicting the turbulent and bloody reigns of Scottish monarchs Mary, Queen of Scots and her son King James VI of Scotland who became King James I of England and foiled the Gunpowder Plot.The second episode is the only historical drama I know about focused on James himself. It's also a garbage, inaccurate depiction.

- DirectorTom ElleryBradley RaymondStarsIrene BedardDonal GibsonJim CummingsPocahontas sets off on a journey to England with Meeko, Flit, and Percy. Hearing rumors of John Smith's death, Pocahontas tries to prevent war and battle.James appears as a generic kingly ninny, which to be fair is not wild slander.
- DirectorTerrence MalickStarsColin FarrellQ'orianka KilcherChristopher PlummerThe story of the English exploration of Virginia, and of the changing world and loves of Pocahontas.Background cameo!
- DirectorLyndy SavilleStarsAndrew BicknellCharles SandfordDominic VallanceFollowing the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603, King James VI of Scotland claims her throne along with a new title of King James I of England. He faces numerous attempts on his life, including the notorious Gunpowder Plots, and the threat of the terrifying Thirty Years War raging on the continent.
- DirectorJosie RourkeStarsSaoirse RonanMargot RobbieJack LowdenMary Stuart's (Saoirse Ronan's) attempt to overthrow her cousin Elizabeth I (Margot Robbie), Queen of England, finds her condemned to years of imprisonment before facing execution.Is a baby, and also has a cameo at the end.
- DirectorHolly DaleStarsAdelaide KaneMegan FollowsRachel SkarstenMary makes a decision that will change the course of history, forever shaping the fate of her nation, her crown, and her newborn son. Mary's perilous move for her survival causes the stunning realization that perhaps she is not the only one who may not survive. Meanwhile, Elizabeth steadies herself for war and will become the instigator in Mary's demise while later realizing she and Mary might be more similar than either thought.A very goofy fantasy soap opera with almost nothing to do with history. I watched for James, but at what cost? At what cost???
- StarsClare JacksonKaty MairEdward MontgomeryIn this first episode, Clare Jackson looks at James VI and I's attempts to unite Scotland and England under the umbrella of his crown and persuade his subjects to feel more 'British'.Somehow tells the story of the Spanish Adventure without saying Buckingham's name, but understandable as this ep covers just James and Baby Charles and is building a total picture of the Stuarts.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsRhys IfansVanessa RedgraveDavid ThewlisThe theory that it was in fact Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford, who penned Shakespeare's plays. Set against the backdrop of the succession of Queen Elizabeth I and the Essex rebellion against her.Watched it for the James cameo. I really cannot recommend anyone else follow in my footsteps.
