Then he'd probably be alone, because this is a fantastic piece of work. The doctor and companions are forced by desire and circumstance to try and find who killed the princes in the tower. The story that ensues is a wonderful bit of writing, funny at points and a pretty serious discussion of moral issues at others.
Performed to perfection by the guest cast, in particular stephen beckett as richard the third who being a northerner can't help but remind you of a certain other doctor, and arthur smith as the smelliest barman in olde england.
This has excellent cliffhangers, several stunning twists, and a few moments that long term fans will absolutely love. Highly recommended

Things can always go wrong when a serious science fiction franchise decides to go for an out and out funny episode. However, the Big Finish team have managed to avoid all the obvious pitfalls and self indulgence here and managed to deliver an involved tale that delivers both mystery and comedy in equal measure.
The Doctor, accompanied by Peri and Erimem, is forced by an overdue publishing contract to go back to the War of the Roses in the time of Richard III to find out just who murdered the Princes in the Tower. What follows is a typical farce plot of mistaken identity, people just missing each other, amazing coincidences and the other stalwarts of British humour. It is all played almost straight by the cast, so this works both as a comedy and as an adventure.
With comedy greats Jon Culshaw and Arthur Smith, and classic central performances from Peter Davison as the Doctor and Stephen Beckett as Richard, this is an enjoyable romp as it explores one of the most infamous periods of English history and provides a rather unique explanation for the mysteries surrounding the age.
Another excellent addition to the Big Finish range, highly recommended to those who enjoy their Doctor Who with a sense of humour.

Another great historical adventure from Big Finish; this is what they do best. Fun, informative (well a bit!) and doesn't take itself too seriously; Davison's Fifth Doctor is in his element and he and Egyptian companion Erimem make a great team - now if only they'd ditch Peri ;-)
