<P>Oooooo, how exciting - a descendent of Richard III works at Belgravia Studios! Just down the road, too exciting.</P>
<P>As seen on the C4 programme (and they went to the splendid Hamlet cafe).</P>
C4, King in the Car Park. Was good, full of crazy Richard III society people and also lots of proper research. They did a full facial reconstruction at the end, splendid!
I thought she was excellent value! My nan was a member of the Richard III society (she wasn't weird though), I love that they care so much about someone from our dim and distant. Like bloody Hilary bloody Mantel with her Tudors.
I think with cremation it's going to be difficult to dig up skulls of interesting people in the future. And Mirandola, I like your blog and you seem a lot more worthy of excavation than Richard 3.
Aaaah, thank you Kreuzkav. <br><br>By the way, if you're looking for an royal corpse story then Tamerlane's the best. It's in one of the Colin Thubron books, but from memory the story goes:<br><br>1) Soviet archaeologists decide to open m ythical grave of Tamerlane in Samarkand. It's covered by a single, gigantic slab of jade so easy to identify<br>2) There's a legend that a terrible calamity will befall whoever opens the grave<br>3) They find that the body inside is lame (Tamerlane is Timur-i-leng or Timur the lame)<br>4) Twelve hours later the nazis invade.<br><br>Beats the 'when we found the body it rained a bit' line in the Channel 4 doc. <br><br>
