    Dreadful and dreary

    This show seems to be mainly a quickly-made piece to cash-in on the publicity surrounding the findings of Richard's bones under the car park in Leicester. We see talking heads of actors, authors and the lady who led the findings - but no historians and very little history. The piece is badly edited and includes a lot of Shakespeare irrelevant to the story. And the Shakespeare clips are a silent Richard III (I guess Olivier's is still copyrighted...). It's more a "Myth of Richard III" than "Martyr or Monster".

    The presentation from Bosworth field could be anywhere - Bob Carruthers stands in front of the camera, taking up 50% of the frame. Maybe the camera was self-operated and on a tripod? Avoid - unless you want some fashion advice on what to wear in the cold weather. Bob Carruthers does wear some very nice jackets. He should have spent less on clothing, more on research and wages for a cameraman.
