Steve, The audio description made me smile, as it kept on referring to "The duchess of cecily", they didn't realise that Cecily was her name.

Pele No I've not read that one yet but it is on the list. If I remember rightly Richard becomes stooped in later years according tothe White Queen and I believe this is supported by the analysis carried outon his bones after they were discovered in that car park in Leicester. You have to remember that Richard became a sort of bogey man and was used to frighten Tudor and later children. We got around to watching the first part of the White Queen last night. It was amazing how closely it stuck to the book. If anything it was to closeand consequently rather slow for a TV drama. They seemed to make quite a lotof the witchcraft aspects with all the twine tied to trees and floating in the water. I found the audio description rather oppressive as it was somewhat louder than the conversations in the film. Luckily there was not too much music.

I liked it better than "The White Queen". I thought it very strange that in the three books I have read by Philippa Gregory there is no mention of Richard III having a deformed back. I understood this was fact. But, as you say, there is a lot we do not know about that time. I enjoyed the first episode on Sunday. Pele ----- No virus found in this message.
