The slightly comedic music that accompanied parts of the programme, especially whenever Phillipa was involved, made it hard to take it seriously. You're definitely right about her being on the programme. She shouldnt have done it and the guy with the clown's hairdo was really irritating!Paula Loftinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138899684247746388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547779935064982600.post-8905567930990086992013-02-07T12:06:21.227-08:002013-02-07T12:06:21.227-08:00I'm an American with a soft spot for Richard. ...I'm an American with a soft spot for Richard. I did read that the person who did his facial reconstruction did not know who the skull belonged to so it would have been unrealistic to expect scars or a specific expression. Also, the bones don't really tell much about wrinkles or scars (or expression) so that wasn't really up to the person doing the reconstruction to depict. I assume the reconstruction is closer to what he would have looked like as a late teen, someone who has reached adulthood but hasn't really aged yet--very handsome. The picture of his curved spine was really horrifying, though. To have been such a revered leader and warrior while dealing with that must have been a battle very hard won!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.com
