Genesis frontman Phil Collins has revealed how a lifetime of drumming and singing took its toll on his body and he now has a 24-hour live-in nurse to make sure he takes the right medication. The 75-year-old revealed in a new interview that his loved ones were told to say their goodbyes while he spent seven months in intensive care. The musician started drinking after several years of sobriety, which resulted him being rushed to a Swiss hospital in November 2023.

Recalling his days to recovery, he spent most of the time watching television, and there is one British period drama Phil enjoyed watching so much that he has seen it four times. He said his go-to news channel is Sky News, he likes to watch the gameshow Shooting Star and loves Wolf Hall. He told The Sunday Times: "Watched it four times."

The BBC period drama is a TV adaptation of the book trilogy of the same name by Hilary Mantel. First broadcast on BBC Two in January 2015, the storyline saw the rapid rise to power of Thomas Cromwell in the court of Henry VIII, through the death of Sir Thomas More, to Cromwell's success in freeing the king of his marriage to Anne Boleyn.

The show featured Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell, Damian Lewis as Henry VIII, Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn and Tom Holland as Gregory Cromwell. Period drama fans have rated Wolf Hall highly, with one saying: "It’s brilliant. Mark Rylance is particularly just amazing to watch. It’s methodical, draws you in and so beautifully cinematic. I also enjoyed season 2 and miss it… I look forward to rewatching it."

Another fan commented on Reddit: "Aside from the obvious praises of the set the elaborate and mostly period accurate costumes, and leads and even season one's Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn, I think their portrayal of Jane Seymour should be commended.

"Kate Phillips portrayed Jane as both pious and having wit and understanding of her situation but knows that she must play along with what her standing is at court. It was such a breath of fresh air from the usual almost saintly portrayal of Jane.

"Also Tom Holland being cast (though replaced the next season). My gripe with this is how the series and by extension, the books kinda justifies the actions of Thomas Cromwell especially his hand at what happened to certain things in history, most notably, the arrest and execution of Anne Boleyn."

A third added: "I found it slow at first. Stick with it though and you will be drawn in. It’s really good storytelling and very worth your time. I loved the cinematography and costumes. Mark Rylance is a master of understated acting style."
