Do you mean Richard III under the car park, or did it catch on?

Richard III under the car park with the sword of enormous dimensions. We get such a better class of Cluedo on BBC4.


Looking forward to this series - Robert Bartlett is a well-know-en authority on Mediaeval Anglo-Cambric history.

Having watched, I found the first programme ever so slightly underwhelming. The presenter (albeit a great expert) seemed rather dull, IMO, going through the usual production tricks of walking while talking and Looking at Things in a Meaningful Way, but without giving us his personal insights. As for the 'background' music, it was unfortunately so inane and repetitive that it wheedled its way annoyingly into my foreground. On the whole, I think I'd have preferred the Starkey treatment.

Well, it's always interesting, seeing other people's views. I found it other way round. Wether or not it more to with me, than the usual board member here. But there facts that I didn't know about, as well. Which was good to hear.
