A 'heads up' about a two part programme about what lies underneath Stonehenge. I think the first episode is on Thursday - Ch4 - 8/9pm?
Bit vague I know but I left my TV guide at home!

The other day I walked from Durrington/Woodhenge to Stonehenge and back along the site of the Cursus. What struck me most was that Stonehenge was designed to be viewed from afar - the walk gave me a far better insight into why Stonehenge is so important than 'getting up close' had ever done before. I will be watching the programme.
PS: Programme is on BBC2 "Operation Stonehenge - What Lies Beneath" - (Thursday at 8.00pm)

I saw some excerpts from the programme on Breakfast this morning and it looks very interesting. Seems things going on in the area for much longer than first thought.

Nice bit in the Independent.
