A: I had a rather unconventional start to the journey by having an intuitive experience in the car park in Leicester. I was standing beside this letter R, which was clearly for reserved parking, but had the strong feeling that I was walking on his grave. And it was that area where my research strongly suggested the church and grave were - and that area that he was found.A: No, not really.
I wasn't a professor or a doctor, and I was a female who was interested in Richard III. I used to get asked why are you in love with Richard III? I thought, if I was Philip Langley, would you ask me that question? It is insulting. It diminishes and it demeans, and it has to stop.A: It was really tough, because at the time in Leicester, nobody believed that Richard would be found. It was a really difficult sell. Everyone just felt it was a wild goose chase, and I was a bit mad to be doing it.
In the film, the Philippa character says, “I've got ME”, but I couldn't let anybody know because it was taboo. You were seen as a bit mad, it's all in your head, pull yourself together. It was a really odd thing to have. So I had to hide it.A: As the client, I was very clear that the northern end of the social services car park was my key area, so that’s where we started. And we found leg bones on day one.
