- This documentary looks at the search for the remains of King Richard III of England (1452-1485). After being killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field (August 22, 1485), his remains were taken to Leicester and it was believed that he was buried at Greyfriars Church. The church no longer exists and its remains were now believed to be under a car park. Phillipa Langley of the Richard III Society convinced archaeologists at the University of Leicester to lead a dig and surprisingly, as it turned out, the first skeleton they found was subsequently proven to be that of the King through DNA tests which showed a match to Canadian Michael Ibsen, a direct descendant of Richard III's sister.
- "Now is the winter of our discontent..." With these timeless words, Duke Richard - lounging on his sun deck - sets his murderous plans in motion. His goal: to eliminate the hated rival Lancaster dynasty, and reign as undisputed king. Standing between him and the throne are his brothers Clarence and King Edward, his nephews the Princes, his bitter adversary Queen Elizabeth, and a host of enemies, rivals, and dubious allies. In the Los Angeles of "Shakespeare's Richard III", violence is the norm: every member of the nobility expects to kill or be killed, according to the code duel lo. They prefer death before dishonor. The women in this society are just as dangerous, courageous, and brutal as the men. The York and Lancaster families - rival branches of the former England Studios - exert a mafia-like control of the city and local politics/law enforcement. Aided by his sinister counselor Buckingham, Richard will stop at nothing - seduction, bribery, conspiracy, and wholesale slaughter - in his bloodthirsty quest, until finally just one adversary remains: his arch-rival Lord Richmond. But why, as the opposing forces join battle, is Richard smiling? What does he know that Richmond doesn't...?
- His succession plan will slay you. Charismatic, cunning and utterly ruthless, Richard, Duke of Gloucester (Colm Feore) is the very embodiment of lethal ambition as he maneuvers and murders his way to the throne of England. But once he reaches the top, the only way is down and in Richard's growing roster of vengeful enemies, none are more menacing than the ghosts of his past.

- Although several others are ahead of him in the line of succession, Richard of Gloucester is determined to gain the throne. Through deceit, manipulation, and murder, he does become King Richard III of England. But once he becomes king, he soon finds out that the many enemies he has made will make it very difficult for him to remain on the throne for long.
- In this special follow-up programme, the only television team with access to the dig and the scientific tests on the skeleton uses unseen footage and conducts two days of additional interviews to tell this extraordinary forensic detective story in even greater scientific and archaeological detail. Trawling through the footage in detail and in full, the programme explains how the discovery of Richard III was made, from the first cut in the ground to the final DNA analysis. It pieces together the critical steps in the archaeological excavation - explaining how the significance of the skeleton was first recognized. It then follows the painstaking exhumation of Richard's grave. In the labs of Leicester University, the programme then follows the scientists as they clean, CT scan and examine the skeleton, closing in on his identity and learning new details about the skeleton. Along the way we discover a series of astonishing twists and turns in the scientific enquiry. At one point researchers believed the skeleton could in fact be female. The film then reveals how the doubts were dispelled, how the living relatives were traced and how the DNA match with Richard III was made. Perhaps the most harrowing stage of the project was the minute forensic examination of the cause of death. Piecing together CT scans, the team identified the major injuries that Richard suffered in the last moments of his life and shortly afterwards. With his hands bound, his body was bundled into a hastily prepared grave. And there it lay, lost for over 500 years, until a team of archaeologists made the find of the century.

- To satisfy his ambitious craving for power, the Duke of Gloucester calls upon his sorceress, Rahel, to learn through her mystic magic what the future holds in store for him. She, through the aid of her magic mirror tells him that he will obtain his ambitions but by the shedding of blood. Gloucester then seeks the aid of a chemist famed for the manufacture of poisons and secures from him a deadly concoction which the Duke surreptitiously places in the cup of the King, who is only now convalescent from a severe illness. The King drinks and then dies in the presence of his wife and children. The first obstacles in the path of his ambitions now removed, the Duke plots to remove the two princes, in turn natural heirs to the throne. He endeavors to enlist the aid of Buckingham, who, while at first consenting, soon repents and allies himself with the queen. The queen sees many of her most devoted adherents led to the scaffold and is prepared for the worst. Buckingham tells her of the duke's sinister intentions toward her sons and flees with her to the sanctuary of Westminster Abbey. They arrive there none too soon. Gloucester and his party are in hot pursuit and reach the Abbey just in time to see the intended victims disappear through the gates. Foiled in his purpose, Gloucester seeks the aid of Sir Tyrrel, now in a dungeon under a sentence of death. To him he offers life and liberty if he will do his will. Tyrrel assents to the offer. Gloucester, however, receives a note from Rahel telling him that neither Tyrrel nor she dare brave the sanctity of the sanctuary, but that she knows men who will. Thus the Duke hires a band of assassins to take the intended victims. The Abbey is attacked by the cutthroats with fire and sword and the princes captured, but not before Buckingham falls wounded in their defense. The princes are thrust in the Tower under the guard of Tyrrel. Forgetful of self, the frantic queen in her desire to save her children tells Gloucester she will surrender the crown if the young Princes will only be returned to her. Gloucester, however, proposes to carry out his intentions toward them. To counteract his ambitions, Buckingham finds means to communicate with Tyrrel and offers to him all that Gloucester promised him and more, if he will only ally himself with the right. Tyrrel consents and admits Buckingham to the Tower. It is too late; Buckingham has barely time to hide before the assassins led Gloucester, rush into the princes' apartment and strangle them. Shortly afterwards the bereaved queen has the satisfaction of seeing the outraged kingdom rise against the royal murderer and under Buckingham compel the Duke to pay the penalty for his crimes.
