Summary

Who killed the Princes in the Tower? The inspiration behind Shakespeare's Richard III, their murder remains one of the greatest mysteries in English history. 


In the second of two episodes, all eyes turn to Richard III, prime suspect in the disappearance of Edward IV's sons. 


Tom and Dominic discuss whether Richard likely did kill his nephews, potential other suspects, and whether it was a matter of survival for him to do so.


Plus, the greatest question of our time: was Richard III more Raul Castro, Robert Kennedy, or James Callaghan?


Producer: Dom Johnson

Exec Producer: Tony Pastor

Hello and welcome to the rest of this history. Now Tom, we have some very, very exciting news,

0:07.8

don't we?

0:08.8

Dominic, I think exciting barely does it justice. We are going on a live tour. I mean,

0:13.8

the whole thing is so surreal, but basically we did two live shows, didn't we, in Clapham.

0:19.0

And they incredibly sold out in minutes. And there is, it seems, appetite for more. So

0:23.7

for those people who have not yet been to one of our live shows, we have a remarkable

0:27.0

approach, I think it's fair to say. So the first half Tom sings Marilyn Monroe's greatest hits.

0:31.8

And in the second half, I do a PowerPoint presentation on British economic policy of the mid-1970s.

0:36.6

So it's an absolute riot, fun for all the family. I mean, there's absolutely nothing about that.

0:41.5

Not to look forward to. It's also not true. It's honestly a lot more fun than that. We will

0:46.2

discuss exactly what we're going to do near at the time. But here's what you need to know.

0:50.1

There are going to be three dates. First of all, the 25th of April, we will be in London on the

1:01.8

Frozen. It's so surreal. And then on the 26th of April, we are going to Edinburgh,

1:07.1

Dasha Hall. So that would be brilliant. Very much so you forward to that Tom. So,

1:10.2

Dominique, try out for the return for you 25 years since your one-star review, given by the

1:15.0

Scotsman at the Edinburgh Festival. But I tell the Scotsman comes this, give us more than one star.

1:19.0

All right. And it's fair to say I've got a few scores to settle with the Scotsman's theatre

1:22.3

grittics. And finally, we will be finishing off on the 30th of April at the Lary in

1:27.6

Sulford Greater Manchester. So Tom, tell people about getting tickets.

1:31.8

We're announcing yesterday Thursday the 15th of December. Tickets are available right now
