Wow! I've just seen it - if anyone wants a copy please let me know. Bolton Museum is not like that, the boss of the museum was not like that, the accents and dialogue were all wrong but - a powerful drama. I've not used the Egypt curator's real name but she must feel accursed. The Friends of Bolton Museum just paid 40k of the total price for the Princess - the rest came from Lottery Heritage grants (but Notlob recently lost 6m in an Icelandic bank collapse). I probably went to school with Shaun's solicitor. Would you write to the man - in prison - hypothetically? He must have a deep guilt over that particular forgery and want to 'expiate' it - I would think. Try to interest him in prehistoric rock art forms? On the other side of the balance was Fred Dibnah, perhaps. Restoring ancient artefacts expertly and with a generous heart!
