  “The Pretenders and their allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Tudor before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the country”   Now we have that vague logline out of the way we can get all “logged-down” in our next instalment of THE PRETENDERS.   Meet Perkin Warbeck, a handsome silk-merchant from the Low Countries. A handsome silk-merchant with a secret (GASP!) A secret claim to the Throne of England (GASP!). Who will stop at nothing until his secret is revealed, revealed and taken super seriously by the powers that be.     Thanks to ZapSplat for zips zaps boings and music Thanks as ever to Scott Buckley for his awesome music Thanks to Kevin McLeod for his track 'Court of the Queen' Thanks to Lord Fast Fingers for the theme music We have Social Media - why not hit us up?
