My parents are both from the UK. I was born in Canada and grew up in the United States. However is a kid I used to go visit my grandparents in Bristol every summer. They bought the ladybird series of books oh, and I distinctly remember a book they bought me that I had a section on the Two Princes . there is a very disturbing picture of the Two Princes being tucked very tightly into a double bed in the tower, LOL so even from a child about the age of 6 I remember this story, even though Annie Kelly did an excellent job explaining this tale it creeped me the f*** out

I read the daughter of time by Josephine tey.in my university class about a year ago. And we covered the mystery of the prince’s and Richard. Good story

That part about history denial shaping future perception for bad reasons really sounds like today with slavery and the Founding.

I think it's in "Richard III: The King in the Car Park" which I can't find for free, but have this what I guess is really zoomed in and cut up version https://youtu.be/4eDtsnQnFfQ?t=29

Nope

I was a fan who learned about Dave Sim's worldview in real time also. Weird stuff, and then enough material for a grea cast episose.

Jamie McAfee

Late reply but I was a huge fan of that comic and watched in real time as it's creator Dave Sim went absolutely off the rails. I agree it would definitely make a good one!

Did QAA do an episode on Cerebus yet? There was a funny post on reddit on the author’s breakdown and journey towards becoming a deranged anti-feminist, which, when I read it, instantly make me think of this podcast. If you want to find the post just search for Cerebus and Hobbydrama.

Epic use of "Two Princes"

I know the archaeologist that she was speaking to and I'd love to see her face too.

Joke all you like about the princes in the tower being yaoi boys, but you may be delighted to know there’s a currently airing anime adaptation of Richard III (Requiem for the Rose King) where *everyone* is a beautiful yaoi boy, especially the much-maligned duke of gloucester himself. The Ricardians strike again!!

It’s Laurence Olivier performing the opening monologue from the play Richard III. It includes some added lines from another Shakespeare play, Henry VI part 3.

Where is the hunchback monologue from?

Jake's "I don't even know if my family line existed then" is basically the same as Karl Pilkington's statement about the Tudor period - "again, it was too long ago. I don't even know if I had a family back then". Also cue the cackling of Ricky Gervais and Julian.

one of my favorite examples of 'what if this was all a lie or manipulation of history' is about Darius the great and how he came to be on the throne, and why his epitaph explaining that he killed the wizard pretending to be the son of the old king seems so defensive

I can't find a link to Ms Langley uttering that phrase, but from the Guardian 08MAR2015: "Philippa Langley, a screenwriter and lifelong Ricardian who was the driving force behind making the archaeological dig happen (she raised £34,000 for the project through sheer will power), has devoted so much of her life to the cause that she has sometimes been accused of not only wanting to discover Richard III’s bones, <b>but to jump them too</b>. “If [people] want to make these assumptions that I’m still in love with him, that’s fine,” she says with a barely suppressed sigh. " Well, at least we got that matter out in the open.

Is there a link to the video of Philippa Langley saying "no" about the spinal deformity? I'd love to see her face
