Harty [10/12/1984]

Synopsis
Chat show hosted by Russell Harty. Includes an interview with Calvin Hoffman who claims that Shakespeare’s works were written by Christopher Marlowe. He believes that a box in the vault of Thomas Walsingham in St Nicholas Church, Chislehurst, contains proof that Shakespeare couldn’t have written the works attributed to him, even though nothing was found. There is also an interview with Anne Stocker, an archaeologist who supervised the opening of the vault.
