Production
"Henry IV, Part I" and "Henry IV, Part II" were filmed simultaneously from January to March 2012.[1] The films were shot on location and at Ealing Studios in London, where the Boar's Head Tavern set was created.[3] Scenes at Henry IV's court in the Palace of Westminster were filmed at Gloucester Cathedral.[4] Caerphilly Castle in Wales was used both for the scenes set at Warkworth Castle and for the meeting with Glendower.[3][5] The Battle of Shrewsbury was filmed in a field near Rickmansworth during a winter snowfall.[6] Although the battle took place in July, director Richard Eyre said he was delighted by the result: "The grass of the English landscape tends to subvert the violence of battle, so the snow turned the setting into this monochromatic world."[7]
Release
"Henry IV, Part I" aired on BBC2 on Saturday, 7 July 2012. The start time was delayed by an hour because of coverage of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, and the film was subsequently repeated on Sunday, 8 July on BBC4.[8][9] "Henry IV, Part II" aired the following Saturday, 14 July.
