The article below by Mariano Tomatis lacks crucial background information to Liz Greene's novel about Nostradamus, Dreamer of the Vine.

Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh took their Jesus-Bloodline nonsense on the road in a series of Lecture Tours while they were researching for the BBC Chronicle documentary “Shadow of the Templars” shown in 1979 – Liz Greene's novel was published in 1980 – therefore Liz Greene did not “anticipate” anything.

Baigent, Lincoln and Leigh wanted to use the Jesus-Bloodline nonsense as a conclusion to the documentary “Shadow of the Templars” but this was blocked by the producer Roy Davies, who considered it rubbish. Roy Davies hired occult author Fred Gettings to provide a different ending to the documentary.
