* Mary Rose treasures to go on show – Video story from the BBC. They talk longbows with Robert Hardy, whom some will recognize as Robert Dudley from “Elizabeth R” with Glenda Jackson, and others will recognize as Cornelius Fudge from the Harry Potter movies (and of course, many, many other things). I always forget that he is an expert on longbows until something like this comes along to remind me!
* David Starkey and Jennifer Scott discuss the Royal Portrait

Always enjoy Starkey.
Not sure about alliteration making good titles – “conquest and colonisation/ politics and persecution/ empire and eczema” – got tired of that a long time ago.
