I am sure this documentary is a comedy really as in the trailer one of the scientists looks a lot like an actor who is on Horrible Histories but I don't know what his name is.
Or is it just me?

Simon Farmby from horrible histories is in the programme but he is not playing one of the scientists he is the Presenter of the Show. The show is legit.
Oh that makes sense then, I thought the woman at the start of the trailer was supposed to be the presenter.

My bad .
Hi. That is Phillipa Langley and she is a member of the Richard III Society.
This is such exciting news, Richard III is my favourite English Monarch and I do hope the remains are his. ( I am sure they are). The programme is also showing the facial reconstruction of the skeleton.
I also love the much maligned Richard 3 - have you read Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey? Probably out of print now but I would strongly recommend it!
Richard III fans have finally found each other
I've read the book. Very convincing....Henry VII much likelier to have murdered twins in the Tower.
Really looking forward to this program, Richard is much loved in York and that says a great deal to me. Big fan of the Tey book and on a lighter note you can't beat We Speak No Treason. I wonder what his face will be like?
We already know ;

Re read Tey's book just recently..excellent stuff.
Sunne in Splendour is also an excellent fiction and a barn storming read.
For me, Margaret Beaufort is up for the murder of the boys.;)
Didn't know about this but have now set up the sky box for it - and also for 'Fact or Fiction: Richard III' on More4 on Sat 2nd February at 8pm. So thanks to the OP for the heads-up.
Looking forward to the documentary, but didn't spot the one on More4! Theres also a drama straight afterwards, Princes In The Tower, which might be worth a look!
You can still get the book, my daughter bought me a copy for Xmas a couple of years ago. I first read it many years ago when at school, and it fostered a lifelong interest in King Richard. :-)
The Duke of Buckingham is my #1 suspect
Great isn't it? I have been convinced that Henry VII murdered the princes in the tower (not twins) since I was in my teens and that's a long time ago. Daughter of Time by Tey was the book that sparked off my interest in all this.
Nearly as bad as building Windsor Castle right on the Heathrow flightpath.
