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. Henry IV, Part I aired on BBC2 on Saturday, 7 July 2012. 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." Release The Battle of Shrewsbury was filmed in a field near Rickmansworth during a winter snowfall. Caerphilly Castle in Wales was used both for the scenes set at Warkworth Castle and for the meeting with Glendower. Scenes at Henry IV's court in the Palace of Westminster were filmed at Gloucester Cathedral. The films were shot on location and at Ealing Studios in London, where the Boar's Head Tavern set was created.
