Tutankhamun: Reopening the FBI File (UK Television)
http://www.five.tv/tvguide/
This is short notice, but on UK television tonight, Channel 5 are showing a programme that confronts the FBI findings three years ago with the latest data. Whether it's worth watching rather depends on how you felt about the show three years ago! Here is the blurb from the Channel 5 website describing the programme: "Historical documentary. The death of Tutankhamun at just 19 years old is a mystery that has baffled us for 3500 years. In 2002 Mike King and Greg Cooper unearthed evidence that pointed to murder, conspiracy and cover-up. Now an Egyptian scientific expedition has uncovered evidence that may indicate a natural death, forcing the FBI detectives to re-open their files to determine once and for all how the Egyptian Pharaoh really died".
7.15 - 9.00pm on Channel 5, UK television this evening.
