The Penny Dreadfuls Present (Radio)	comment	The Penny Dreadfuls Present... is a radio comedy series written and performed by British sketch troupe The Penny Dreadfuls. Actor and stand-up Miles Jupp is also a regular. Two series of four episodes each were broadcast on BBC Radio 7 in 2008, followed by ten forty-five minute specials on Radio 4 from 2009 to 2020.The series chronicles the lives of the fictional Brothers Faversham, nine men who 'straddled the Victorian era like a mighty change-Titan.' (Twins Perceus and Lucius share an episode between them.) Each episode also features miscellaneous material, such as spoof adverts. The exceptions are the specials, which take place in other historical settings: Guy Fawkes (November 2009): a Bonfire Night special, guest-starring Kevin Eldon, about Fawkes' role in the Gunpowder Plot and his subsequent execution. Revolution (July 2011): a recap of The French Revolution as seen by Maximilien Robespierre (Richard E. Grant) and sixteen-year-old Marie Thérèse (Sally Hawkins). Hereward The Wake (December 2012): a Boxing-Day special about 11th Century would-be folk hero Hereward the Wake. The framing device stars Justin Edwards narrating as a historian descended from Hereward whose obsession with his ancestor has caused the breakdown of his marriage. Macbeth Rebothered (December 2014). Odyssey (October 2015): a retelling of the Odyssey, featuring Robert Webb as Odysseus. The Curse of the Beagle(July 2016): a special telling the tale of Charles Darwin's encounters with Argentinians and the legendary beast known as 'Kurupira' during the voyage in which he first developed his theory of evolution. Le Carre On Spying (July 2017). Don Quixote (August 2018). Hadrian's Beard (August 2019). Richard III Rebothered (April 2020).The specials and the Brothers Faversham episodes are often viewed as separate shows, due to their different subject matter and home stations, but the British Comedy Guide regards them as the same, and they are listed as the same program with their broadcaster BBC Radio 4 Extra (previously BBC Radio 7). Whether you regard them as the same show or not, all episodes can be listened to for free on the BBC website here.

In this adaptation, all the evil things are a plot between Henry Tudor, Elizabeth Woodville, and Henry's mother Margaret Stanley, and Richard is very much a Hero with Bad Publicity.

In reality, the Princes were only kept cloistered in the tower for a few months in 1483 before their disappearance, supposedly for their protection before the coronation of Edward as King Edward V.

Elizabeth Woodville is discarded by Henry VII after he takes the throne, and banished to a nunnery in Bermondsey. She takes solace in the fact that she is the hottest nun there. Elizabeth of York gives birth to Henry VIII. Edward and Little Richie are never rescued from the cabin where they were taken by Buckingham, but instead they take the apples in the surrounding forest and invent the juice bar, living happy lives running it until their deaths in their early thirties. Queen Anne's simply states that she was played by Kristin Scott Thomas, then later by Winona Ryder, and to this day, she has never been played well. Jasper Tudor, Henry VII's uncle, did indeed marry one of the Woodville sisters, and fathered many children - with other, less attractive women.

The Penny Dreadfuls Present (Radio) / int_e0904aa4	comment	No Party Like a Donner Party: After a disastrous battle in which he is the only survivor left stranded in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, Horatius is forced to eat the corpses of his comrades to survive. When he goes to get revenge on the General who fled the battle leaving his forces to die, Horatius is interrupted by another soldier seeking revenge for a different massacre. Horatius tries to claim dibs by citing that he had to eat his comrades; the other soldier counters by saying that his comrades had to eat him. Discussed when Leonidas is on an expedition to the North Pole with the Swedish Arnulfsson and American Truman Winchester III. Leo however, much to the frustration of his teammates, doesn't believe in bringing rations. He takes one of his teammates aside to say that with him being English and his teammate American, they should gang up on the Swede and eat him if things get hairy - only for it be revealed that it is the Swede under the cold-weather gear he is talking to.
