The Lost King
Wed 14 Dec 2pm
In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics. The Lost King is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England's history.

cast: Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd

Then one evening he is struck by a revelation and with a new energy he sets about creating a legacy for the next generation.
