How Come The Bbc News Have Ignored The Richard 111 Discovery?

[DJHawkes]

they have not mentioned it at all

[Frank97]

I was watching it on the BBC news channel just over an hour ago!

[DJHawkes]

it wasn't on their bulletin just now

[ladybirder]

No they haven't but admittedly it shouldn't be after Chris Huhne, it should be before, far more important.

hard to give a judgement on that as to priority on the News, Richard III was ill-informed, naive and a fool, Chris Huhne was/is ill-informed, naive and a fool.

It is the biggest story on their homepage: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-21063882

The story was covered pretty well when the bones were first found. It was strongly suspected at the time that they were those of Richard III so I suppose it`s only a confirmation now.

Whatever happened to the other 110 Joy-sticks ?

Joystick van dyke anyone ?

The Today program on Radio 4 had a piece on it this morning, and the BBC News Website has plenty on it as I type.

So I am bit confused over your question DJHawkes ? What part of the BBC is ignoring the news item....Radio one perhaps ?

It's been all over the BBC all morning Dotty:)

[emmie]

it was on earlier this morning news...

Is the skeleton intact, or is it a case of Richard III part I?

[lslowry]

It was on radio 4 news. My local BBC tv regional channel( EAST MIDLANDS)will be doing a full report tonight.

It was on East Midlands news pretty much all day, but national BBC seemed to think Jeff Huhne's speeding ticket debacle was more important.

However, Channel 4 have had most of the broadcast rights. I have it on good authority that the test results were known some weeks ago, but that Channel 4 embargoed the news pending yesterday's press conference and last night's documentary.
