Plantagenet series on BBC

For those of us in the UK (sorry everyone else!), there's a new 3 part documentary series starting next Monday 17th on BBC 2 at 2100hrs on the Plantagenets. It says it covers from 1154 up to Richard's death. How much exposure Richard will get remains to be seen though. Might be worth watching. Sharon

We'll poop, we get BBC America, so I am very disappointed. I did see in our new Acorn Media catalogue that we can purchase two tapes, "The Wars of the Roses" and "Richard III"!

A miracle mind you that they're doing a series at all

Sharon, what's the name of the series? Maybe at some point it will be available on DVD.

Where did you read it covers up to our Richard's death?
First episode is Henry II and his two sons, which leaves only two hours to go from Henry III to 1485! Most historians consider the Houses of Lancaster an York as being after Plantagenet, which makes me think they will go up to Richard II's death.
I've tried to find out on the BBC website but they give no details beyond epsiode 1.
Paul

p.s. also tonight there is a film on how to get ahead at the court of Richard II, which should prove interesting.

Can't find anything on the tv series but lots of links to the radio series which does end with our Richard and was broadcast last year.

Paul, this is the tiny blurb from the 2 video series…..not too happy about the Martyr or Monster crack!

“More than 500 years after his death, King Richard III’s battle-scarred bones were found beneath an English parking lot in August 2012. Richard III: Martyr or Monster? retraces his life; The Wars of Roses recounts the bloody struggle for power between the Houses of York and Lancaster. Includes battle reconstructions, dramatized re-enactments, and computer mapping. 1 hr 50 min, 2 DVDs.”

This is something completely different, Pamela.
I don't know it. Most of the straight to video productions are pretty bad. The WOTR one is terrible! Also one about Macbeth.
What is the name of the production company and director of this Monster one? Do you know? Is it on the box?

Paul, I looked and the box says Kulture, and not a thing about the director. So, with no details, and the cutesy KULTURE, I think I shall give it a pass.

If the director isn't proud enough to put his name to it, then it is certainly something to be avoided!
Kulture? I doubt there's any:-)

Carol responds:

It's Kultur, actually. Here's a link to their webpage for the DVD, which involves Philippa Langley (the only cast member mentioned):
http://www.kultur.com/Richard-III-Martyr-or-Monster-p/d4869.htm
If I'm not mistaken, it is or was available from the American branch. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
