Elizabeth I
Elizabeth I is a two-part British historical drama television miniseries from 2005 that was directed by Tom Hooper, written by Nigel Williams, and starred Helen Mirren as Elizabeth I of England. The miniseries focuses on the latter 24 years of her nearly 45-year rule. Part 1 focuses on her romance with the Earl of Leicester, portrayed by Jeremy Irons, during its latter years. Hugh Dancy plays the Earl of Essex, and the second act concentrates on her relationship with him. Initially, Channel 4 aired the programme in two two-hour portions in the United Kingdom. Later on, it was broadcast on HBO in the United States, CBC and TMN in Canada, ATV in Hong Kong, ABC in Australia, and TVNZ Television One in New Zealand. The series ultimately received Emmy, Peabody, and Golden Globe Awards. Helen Mirren portrayed Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen in the same year, with which she dominated the awards season.
