WARRIOR QUEEN: THE COMPLETE SERIES

This spectacular six-part series brings to life the valiant yet doomed attempt by Boudicca, the widowed Queen of the Iceni tribe of East Anglia, to wrest power from the Romans in first-century Britain.

It is AD 61. The Romans rule Britain. Prasutagus, King of the Iceni, is dying. In his will, he bequeaths one half of his kingdom to his two daughters; the other half is to be ceded to the Roman Emperor, Nero. Prasutagus’s widow, Queen Boudicca, invites Catus Decianus to attend his burial. Decianus, however, has no intention of attending ‘this flea-bitten king’s funeral’; instead, he arrives when it is over. It is an ominous sign…

Produced by Ruth Boswell, Warrior Queen stars Sian Phillips as the fearless Celtic queen, Nigel Hawthorne as Catus Decianus, the rapacious Roman Procurator, and Michael Gothard as Druid priest Volthan.
