2:10 Richard The Third - Annette Parry
One of the great archaeological finds of modern times it is - a 500 year old skeleton found under a carpark in the British Midlands has been identified as Richard the Third. Archeologists at the University of Leicester have confirmed that the remains of a man in his early thirties, with a twisted spine and a split-open skull are indeed those of the infamous Last King of the Plantagenets, whose final resting place has been unknown since the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
The skeleton was discovered in August last year, but it's taken 6 months of DNA testing to establish its identity beyond a reasonable doubt.
Annette Parry is a member of the New Zealand Richard III Society,
2:20 Heat and Athletes - Dr Toby Mandel
It might be a bit damp around the country today, but we've had a great summer so far, and our next guest is especially pleased with the weather, not least because it's helping him with his current project. Dr Toby Mandel is a researcher in Sports Science at Massey University.
He's currently investigating the effects of heat on athletes based in Palmerston North, so the long hot days of summer are suiting him just fine.
2:30 Reading - 'Skin To Skin' - exploring the lives of people in cross-cultural marriages in New Zealand.

4:06 The Panel - Graham Bell and David Slack. Waitangi Day, the ructions over Mrs Harawira leading the Prime Minister on, the annual rancour and diversions. The police chase that left a motorcyclist brain-damaged, but who is really to blame? The chinese milk factory in Pokeno - any objections? The supposed spate of drink-spiking - not young women being targeted any more, but DJs. And what our panellists think about the debut of 7 Sharp.
