Separated mother Philippa Langley is haunted by the image of King Richard III to find his burial location, which the local authorities then take the credit for.
Subjective but smoothly done comedy drama with a pretty accurate depiction of modern day Britain; denounced by academics as being an unfair portrayal, but they can't really complain as the film is reasonably even handed, and they took plenty of credit at the time anyway.
