The kids mostly came up with sensible theories about death bt disease and the prince's being sent to a different country and kept away from the throne.My favourite very silly ones were:1) daring escape involving a motor boat, 5 ninjas and a dinosaur - T Rex I think - in a hot air balloon;2) Elizabeth 1, Shakespeare and a time machine and a plot to defame Richard.They were completely fascinated by the play as political propaganda and the winner writing the history though because it was their first encounter with these things.
I'm gonna gently Wonksplain, b/c this is a pretty obscure reference, even for here--I only know it b/c I happened to see the last 10 minutes of this episode. The guy drinks this vintage bottle of wine that the owner of has reserved to give to the Pope as a gift, and he panics and starts trying to re-create this 200 yr old vintage with the worst kind of stuff trying to get that "200 year old" taste, but he says to his cohort, what I wrote above, to which that guy replies "only because you smoke 5000 cigarettes a day, nothing has any taste to you."
He thinks he's pulled it off until this shot, in the last scene.
OK that one worked so here goes... 🤞There were some sensible ones involving death by illness and the prince's being spirited away to another country to prevent them being a threat. The silliest were:1) a rescue plot involving a speedboat, 5 ninjas and a t Rex with a hot air balloon;2) a plot to discredit Richard involving Elizabeth 1, Shakespeare and a time machine - which would be a fun YA novel.The kids were really fascinated by the tudor propaganda aspects and by their first real encounter with the concept that history is not necessarily true because it is often written by the winners.
You should try a Rocky Ford cantaloupe sometime.

Locking down the pro-melon voters. She leaves no stone unturned.
I kept saying "whoa" as I read Daughter of Time. She totally convinced me.
Could God make a melon so delicious that it cloys the tongue to the point of disgust? Pax vobiscum!
How about consuming a homeopathic dose of melon, say 1ppm dilution in distilled water?
they said there'd be no math here...
"can't we all just agree that wine doesn't have any taste?"
I'm glad you're not dead Robyn...
I noticed that too...more like a siblinghood.
But remember it’s the succussion that is truly important.
I think you’re on to something. Robyn may be missing a couple steps.
