As a 35 year-old, I didn't like it much but tried to watch it as a child. It is important for our cause that today's children do not grow up empathising with the ex-Princes and automatically hating Richard as a result so Nick Knowles' programme about Richard will be important.

Yes Stephen, I found it hard to watch and am not sure what audience they are
looking for. I also notice they couldn't resist keeping the arrow in the eye
legend while trying (I think) to debunk a lot of the others. Facts were a
bit dodgy in other parts too, but I couldn't watch it all. Gave up
concentrating after some of the silly early stuff.
When is someone going to come out on tv and tell everyone Edward the
Confessor was a shit and not a saint?
