Coinery Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm just watching the follow-up Richard III documentary 'the unseen story,' and I am so glad to find that THAT woman has been effectively gagged by some excellent editing.The first programme was more 'reality TV' in style than a serious documentary, on account of her dramatic self-indulgences!

The second program was excellent, I look forward to more scientific facts emerging from the ongoing investigation.Shame R3's not a cheap series to collect...will the prices go up?

The chap's face especially - I've never seen such expression from a pair of raised eyebrows. Quote
Mr_Stephen Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Likewise upset about the difficulties in finding affordable R3s. He's one of the few monarchs where I could provide a list of Good Things That He Did off the top of my head (the concept of bail, hugely increased representation of the North, and a basic form of 'legal aid' being the main ones).I believe the coins aren't particularly rare, but the prices fail to recognise this!And considering I'm trying to pull together a coin collection where the examples cost under £10, R3's going to be blank for a fair old while!

Just wished I could afford it.I do wonder whether the prices will go up on the back of the recent discovery?I know I looked at R3 for the first time, even though I was only window shopping. History is pretty infectious! Quote
argentumandcoins Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I nearly turned off the first documentary due to the antics of "the wet blanket"!On a separate note I was gutted when Channel 4 announced that it was axing Time Team. It has been a favourite of mine since episode 1 Quote

It has been a favourite of mine since episode 1 Awww. I didn't know that. Have they finally run out of things to dig, or does Phil want to spend more time with his hat? Mind you, they must all be getting a bit long in the tooth by now, even Tony. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Awww. I didn't know that. Have they finally run out of things to dig, or does Phil want to spend more time with his hat? Mind you, they must all be getting a bit long in the tooth by now, even Tony.I spoke to Mick Aston recently about this and he was saddened. Whilst he left the show for other reasons he felt that Time Team was a crucial means of communicating archaeology to the public! With the latest hype over Richard III and Richard I in the media I'm sure there'll be another show soon. Edited February 28, 2013 by HistoricCoinage Quote
Coinery Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 One of the best One of the few shows you could put on half-way through and still really enjoy it! Quote
