I'd better start this post with a disclaimer. At no point (that I'm aware of) has Dominic Smee *ever* claimed he has any kind of supernatural connection to King Richard III. He does, however, have a clear physical one: the curvature of their spines are virtually identical.
Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, the highly improbable discovery of the bones of King Richard III (under a car park, in a lot marked "R", just where his discoverer knew they'd be) is an absolutely fascinating story. When combined with how those bones were identified and the discovery of Mr. Smee as Richard's "body double" and how special armor and training prove that a man with severe scoliosis could be a terror on the battleground, you have the makings of a great documentary!
