The second-season ender of Showtime's The Tudors -- when poor Anne Boleyn's head is separated from her body -- posted big gains.

The 9 p.m. telecast was watched by 852,000 viewers, an 83% bump over last season's finale. The combined 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. showings topped 1 million viewers, 59% higher than last season.

Production on the third season of the saga of the oft-marrying King Henry VIII (played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers) begins in a couple of weeks.

  the penultimate show was so good on the downfall of the boleyns, it
  made me sad for what might have been. rhys meyers is so NOT henry.
  it taints the entire endeavor, and the show is more bodice-busting
  soap opera than a truly interesting take on history.
