Has nobody involved with this production ever seen any of the surviving contemporary or near-contemporary portraits of Richard III? They've been all over the world ever since his remains were discovered in a car-park here in Leicester.
Richard had long hair and was clean-shaven. ( That was the boys' uncle George, Duke of Clarence.) And we see Richard III at his coronation with short hair and a full beard. Dan Jones's narration tells us that rumors were circulating that, among other things, the boys may have been 'drowned in a vat of wine'.
The older boy, Edward, who was only 12, looks about 16. We see the two young 'Princes in the Tower', Edward and Richard. I have just watched Episode 3, "The Princes Must Die", and I feel so incensed that I must write this brief review.
