Dave Andrews visited us last year to talk about the BBC, and now he's back to with Richard III - the man - what was he really like?
He'll cover how his reputation has been affected by Shakespeare's play, how he was found, the arguments about where he should be buried and his final re-interment in Leicester Cathedral.
Dave has a medieval history degree and was a reporter at the time for the BBC and also provided the radio commentary for his reburial service.
