Steve Coogan said his film about the discovery of the remains of Richard III was “the story I wanted to tell, and I am happy I did” after he and two production companies settled a High Court libel claim over the film’s portrayal of a university academic.
Richard Taylor, chief operating officer at Loughborough University, sued Mr Coogan, his production company Baby Cow, and Pathe Productions over his portrayal in The Lost King, which follows Philippa Langley and her search to find the king’s skeleton.
