No, they're not, and he was indeed - the BBC series (confusingly called The Six Wives of Henry VIII) was made in 1970, and this is the follow-up, or spin-off film from 1972, hence the rearrangement of the title.
I personally prefer the casting in the film, and the shorter time-scale - the length of the TV series meant a lot of ground was covered more than once, and the writers had to pad out the stories of the lesser-known wives.

Hope you enjoyed the icons anyway! :)
