I'd love to watch it, but unfortunately BBC iPlayer isn't available outside Britain. :(

You can download the play here: https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20170721 It's part of a collection of three plays, and a relatively fast read.

The episodes can be seen on youtube.com.
Here's the one that covers The War Of The Roses. - 'invesnted by the Tudiors to justify their power.'

Thanks for the play link. I'm curious to see how it works.

Thank you, I found it -- that was quite well-done I thought (if a bit short on what we actually know of Richard's and Henry's respective day-to-day administrations as kings). What does emerge, though, is that the story of the Wars of the Roses is essentially the story as told by the Tudors. And I didn't know that the death toll of Towton (ca.. 28.000) was roughly 150% of that of the first day of the 1916 Battle of the Somme (ca. 19.500). That's mind-blowing.

Whether or not the miners were gunned down -- or clubbed down -- by the British Army, the local police constabulary, the Metropolitan Police, or not at all -- and what exactly were Winston Churchill's orders and his attitude to the whole thing. (I've linked to the Wikipedia page in my review.)

Ah! Also, Bloody Sunday didn't happen, nothing notable occurred in Tiananmin Square in 1989, the Gulags were luxury retirement homes and Orwell's novel, 1984, has no practical relevance to contemporary society...

Well, I think you may have to take up that one with Ms. Tey. Or check out the local records for yourself ... :)

Ghandi was a terrorist, Saddam Hussein had WMDs in 2003, Joan of Arc was a witch, Joan of Arc was a Saint,...

Well -- wasn't she? Surely if you ask the French, even today ... :D

Joan of Arc is a French Nationalist Hero, I would not question, except insofar as she wasn't called Joan of arc.. ;-)

In Paris and Orléans she is -- at least now.

"Jeanne D'Arc," not "Joan of Arc," which is all I was getting at.

Oh, I see -- being literally. I thought you were thinking of one of her many bynames (complimentary or no) ...

Aspies tend to be very literal-minded....

I forgot ... :)
