On the day in 1499 Perkin Warbeck, a pretender to the British throne who claimed to be the son of King Edward IV, was executed after several failed attempts to escape from the Tower of London. Warbeck claimed to be Richard of Shrewsbury, the youngest of the princes in the tower who, unbeknownst to Warbeck, had been murdered by King Richard III and his body hidden in an old chest a few yards away from where Warbeck was jailed. Richard of Shrewsbury was played by Brian Blessed in the first series of Blackadder. Also on this day, but in 1963, the first episode of Doctor Who was broadcast on the BBC, which is the show Richard Freeman often cites as the reason he first became interested in cryptozoology as a child (for me it was watching the slightly less remembered, but fantastic cartoon The Family Ness when I was about five. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkdjqFAXMF0
INTERESTING CFZ-RELATED FACT No. 42: Silas Hawkins, the actor who brought Charles Fort back to life at the last Weird Weekend is the son of Peter Hawkins who voiced many of the characters in The Family Ness.
