Yeah, apparently they think he was dead before someone thrust their weapon deep into his bottom.What made me laugh was that no one could bring themselves to say "they stabbed him in the arse". It was all a bit... well, there is another wound... his buttocks were head height... it looks like someone... ummm...yes...

I couldn't take it with that irritating bint from the "Richard III Lunatics"mugging and gurning her way through it and getting in everyone's way because she's had a pointless obsession for decades, had a lucky stroke with the location of the burial, produced a program that deliberately downplayed the academics' role in identifying the location of the burial and, indeed, on siting the trenches at all, and then generally got in everyone's way and breached all archaelogical protocol - not to mention common decency. Stupid fucking stroke-faced bitch, she ruined the entire thing.

i like the programmeapart from her.
she was far too precious about it all "i don;t see a pile of bones, i see a person" and she got all upset when the bone doctor said he had a hunch back.
and as for the flag over the box incident, please, even with the strong circumstantial evidence, it was a bit much.
i agree she did somewhat mar the programme.

they reached a compromise with the flag thoughthe flag went over the box, the box got chucked in the back of a white van with a load of mucky tools and hard hats.

hahaha :)what they didn't show was that everything in the box was sealed in thick plastic bags, or at least i'd be extremely surprised if it wasn't

They did show him being packed away in bags.It's kind of weird how small a box your bones fit in.

i wouldnt trust them to do thatDespite all the forensics suits and painstaking mud brushing one of them still managed to plant a dirty great pickaxe right through his skull before they'd even got it out of the ground

Happens more often than you'd think.I once watched an episode of Time Team where they went to the USA to where the Mayflower landed. The septics were horrified when they suggested bringing in a JCB to dig a trench. They had so little history to dig up they sieved the whole lot. Here in the UK you can't dig more than a few feet without finding a neolithic stove or some roman plumbing.

I thought I caught a snort of derision when she had to leave the room when they were looking at his bones.Perhaps not.

Exactly this, they are a bag of mentalsThe man was clearly horribly misjudged because people swallowed Tudor propaganda, but that doesn't mean we have to set up an international society and get deeply emotionally-invested because people might comment that our precious king was a hunchback. I loved the Dutch woman saying that that's a lie - when they were reasonably sure they had Richard's body and he was hunchbacked.
"I dont think she would have been tolerated had she not been paying for it all"
I thought exactly that, but unfortunately paying for it all meant they had to stick her being around and play along for the cameras even though they wanted to plant their pick-axes in her mush
