You were lucky all I got at primary school was World War 2 and Secondary it was the Vikings.
I remember doing the industrial revolution, 1066 and the Domesday book, the Magna Carta, the Tudors and Stuarts, and the World Wars. I'm sure there was more but I can't remember. I found history quite boring, I'm much more interested in it nowadays. Sign of age I suppose. Or bad teaching!
From the sublime of this morning press briefing to the somewhat ridiculous documentary this evening.
I am so disappointed with the actual documentary given this morning's press conference. I was expecting a real, serious archaeological and historical investigation, including the use of medical science to help with data profiling etc. Instead it turned into some weird dramatic reconstruction.

I think because when I got to Secondary and it was about the Vikings I got bored of History so use to truant that lesson. If it was local history then I would have been interested in it. Like I have found out much stuff about my local town and how it came about etc.
To be fair, I can understand her reaction to what was unfolding in front of her throughout the discovery process. Most archaeological finds are made serendipitously, so to actually find something as historically important as this through careful research is pretty momentous. I wouldn't be surprised if many archaeologists found her initial proposition of excavating in the car park as utterly ridiculous.

I agree, and with some better editing, it could have been a superb documentary with that element of human interest. Sadly that's not what they did with it.
So, he was the only monarch to be stabbed up the arse?
No he wasn't. Poor old Edward II was supposed to have suffered something similar only it wasn't a dagger. We are led to believe from history that he probably was a friend of Dorothy.
i know nothing about richard and watched the programe by accident, and honestly the whole thing looked completely fake, by the end i was thinking maybe the mad woman had him all along and staged the whole thing

Those darts competitions could be quite aggressive at times.

I always thought that Lord Farquad was based on Richard III.
