By Slanted Light

I'm another one who avoids a lot of documentaries - the dumbing down drives me mad, as does the agenda(?) of making the presenters rather than the subject look good. Historical and medical topics seem to suffer more than most so I suppose this one, with DNA, scoliosis and a Plantaganet king was always going to be a mess.

I've always been fascinated by Richard, and have both studied him and read around the subject. I was quite 'thrilled' at the discovery of the skeleton, but I had doubts about the documentary and didn't watch it. The various errors in different media reports were bad enough.
