The Lost King. Must see post-Coronation Film with Barrowby Open Door

This is the best British Historic Comedy of The Year with fantastic acting by Sally Hawkins as Phillipa! And how apt in this period of Golden Jubilee, Funeral and Coronation. This film will bemuse and entertain us on the Tuesday after Coronation.

The Lost King is a 2022 British biographical film directed by Stephen Frears. Written by Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope, it is based on the 2013 book The King's Grave: The Search for Richard III by Philippa Langley and Michael Jones. It is a dramatisation of the story of Philippa Langley (Sally Hawkins), the woman who initiated the search to find King Richard III's remains under a car park in Leicester, and her treatment by the University of Leicester in the claiming of credit for the discovery. Coogan and Harry Lloyd also feature in the cast.
