Thanks for telling us about this programme, Littlestone. Interesting stuff, but I grew just a tad irritated by the repeated statement that the old textbooks were wrong in writing about a narrow bridge when the reality is a massive landscape. That is true, but hasn't that been known for quite some time? There has been no detail of rivers and lakes up till now, but it has been known before this"discovery" that the sunken land was bigger than England and extended from south of the Isle of Wight right up to Orkney and Shetland and right over to the low countries.

Never mind - saying that "the textbooks will have to be re-written" is a standard line for preparing the ground for your own book!

Loads of stuff including digital pictures of the landscape beneath the North Sea in these massive downloads See http://www.offshore-sea.org.uk/site/scripts/downloads.php?categoryID=37
