Ooh, hello! I did wonder what you thought about it all, glad you got here in the end!
Wasn't it annoying - and I didn't have nearly the kind of emotional investment in Richard that I know you and alot of other people have, I can only imagine it must have been so much more disappointing...
As you say, Richard - or the person the bones used to be, no matter who that was - was who they were, and surely it's about finding out about him rather than the myth and legend (I thought that was going to be R3 woman's whole point, but she just seemed to have replaced one myth with her own)...
Granted she's not a scientist but then, what is a "scientist"? And don't we expect a certain degree of impartiality from our "documentary" makers too? I got the impression she'd done research to get as far as she did, and apparently she was producer of the show that was calling itself a "documentary", which suggests that it deals in facts rather than hopes and dreams, so surely it's not that far fetched to think she might have been able to temper her message with a touch of realism...
And see, she annoyed me so much that I almost wish they had found a withered arm and a signed confession... *g*
