... will be tomorrow night.
Tonight, I'm watching Channel 4's documentary about the discovery of Richard III's body and its exhumation.
That's right. The carcass of a king dead some five hundred years is more interesting than the tripe Lorraine Newman dishes up four times weekly.
You want a real soap opera? Read about Richard. It's got incest (Dickie fancied his niece behind his wife's back and she reciprocated). Treachery (the niece, a blonde cross between Sharon and Ronnie betrayed him with the real baddie, Henry VII), tragedy (Richard's wife and son died young), and murder (the Princes in the Tower mystery is still a whodunnit; did Richard do it, or did Henry and the blonde knock her brothers off so she could be queen?) And comedy ... for his sins, Henry had to share a home with his bitch of a mother-in-law.
EastEnders ... Fifteenth Century-style ... history you can't retcon.
Suck on that.
