Talk:Oliver Cromwell in popular culture

No 'Warts and all'?
While it is clear that there is considerable doubt whether Oliver Cromwell ever uttered these exact words in his instructions to the painter Sir Peter Lely, it is generally agreed that Lely's portrait of Cromwell was unusually candid, at a time when flattering portraits were the rule. Following on from that, it is thought very likely that he did give some sort of instruction that his depiction should be frank and honest. My main point is that the saying 'warts and all' should be mentioned, together with the doubts of the quotes veracity and accuracy. The phrase is the most common knowledge of Oliver Cromwell in popular culture, and is now a well-known saying in itself. Any article on OC in popular culture is incomplete without discussion of this quote or misquote. --Centrepull (talk) 08:26, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

What about "By The Sword Divided" (BBC)?
