WHITTINGTON tells the apparently familiar yet truly unknown true story of Richard – ‘Dick’ – Whittington. It’s an astonishing tale of power and ambition, honour and deceit, love and betrayal.

Set in a world of cut-throat commercial rivalry, we see royal dynasties rise and fall while the City of London ascends to be crowned Europe’s financial powerhouse.

Dick Whittington lived through some of the most tumultuous and famous events in English history. But they don’t just form the backdrop to his story; our hero is at the heart of these epic – and real – legends.

Dick Whittington is the man who made London, saved the British  

Royal Family; created the first public toilets and first public library.  Without Whittington there would be no CROWN television series THIS IS CROWN PRE-CROWN.
