Great video, Fellow Ricardian!
Good evening to you. A most excellent and interesting video again. Thank you for the recap, most useful. Beautiful beautiful confluence, calming. Looking forward to hearing how this one progresses. Thank you. 😊.
I'm with you about Richard III
I always find these interesting and useful. Liked and have been a subscriber for a while now. Keep up the good work Alan
I wonder if Paula Vennells has watched this.
Good save 👍👍
It never ceases to amaze me that someone will make a "based on real events" sort of thing, where practically nobody will know who anybody is. But then someone gets their knickers in a twist and outs themselves to the world. Especially when said fictional character is a proper sod. In reality, nobody would ever have known it was them, but now everybody will associate them with that character. And if they lose the case, people will think they're every bit as bad as the charcter portrayed on the telly.
That's called "The Steisand Effect", I think?
Thanks Al
Thanks Al, very interesting.
You have got to pop down to sunny Australia where there have been two major defamation cases where the claimants have blown up on the issues of truth.
Nice scenery.
The biggest issue is that the Drama frames her as the inspired amateur who was right all along, fighting the stuffy experts
But in reality the experts had long thought he was buried just outside that particular church, under the carpark about where he was found, and only a lack of funding was stopping them, she was also convinced he was buried in quite a few other locations at various times, they did edit the story to frame one person as the villain, and he was not
We could have a discussion on the definition of "reasonable" and for that matter "normal"
Come with me to Clap-ham Common, gateway to the gateway to the south, where we will have to get on a bus ...
Reasonableness and the "reasonable person" are mainstays of jurisprudence and indeed it would make for a very interesting video. As far as "normal" goes you're on your own; as I get older I'm finding it harder and harder to find a truly "normal" person.
The Tresillian River ...
Were it not for this judgment I would have forgotten all about him and this movie
Channel 4 had a documentary following the discovery and identification of Richard III in 2013, presented by Simon Farnaby. I watched it at the time, but haven't seen this drama. Personally I thought she was too obsessed and convinced everything we knew about him was actually Tudor propaganda. Like he didn't have scoliosis so wouldn't have been the hunchback of portraits and Shakespeare, but he did.
Mind your feet given the information coming out about what's been dumped in lakes and rivers!!!
Should have called it “Pete Postlethwaite’s Jurassic Park” 😮😊
Could the senior Post staff go for ITV for deformation?
Interesting thanks. How close does this have to be though? Let me present my screenplay:
A lady becomes obsessed with a Roman relic and belives it is under a car park in a major city. She approaches a university for funding and gets belittled by them, and when she ultimately suceeds the university try to take credit.
It is inspired by true events.
Could they claim it is a thinly disguised changing of some elements and still defamation?
Where is the line drawn?
😂😂😂 camera fall
Nice hat.
