Just heard on the trusted Ricardian grapevine – in this case the Facebook page of the Richard III Society – that due to all our emails urging them to make a documentary about the dig,  Channel 4 has changed its mind and is definitely filming the dig and the documentary will be aired in the UK later this year.

Maybe we could start a similar campaign to encourage our ABC (probably the most likely channel in Australia) to buy and show the documentary here.

A big “Thank you” to all our members and friends who contacted Channel 4!

Unfortunately the archaeologists at the dig were not yet able to assess the remains of walls, which were found on Tuesday, any further, as heavy rain stopped the work.

The University of Leicester has included some photos in its latest update on the dig.  You can find a link in their update of 29 August 2012.
