For once Moss, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you. It compounded all the reservations expressed earlier in this thread and it was dishonest in its 'harmlessness'. The 'find' was so obviously a replica of the very precious Alfred Jewel which was found in 1693 - implying there may be another one out there buried by an ancient site was at the very least disingenuous.
I think you're entirely correct June. How could you not be?

A succinct little piece by Heritage Action, well done. As said in previous discussions, it was an enjoyable little series with recognisable, funny/sad interactions between a group of people who might generally be considered misfits. For me, because of what I've learnt here and elsewhere, ending the way it did at the site of a standing stone, jarred somewhat. Sanctuary has told us you can buy a facsimile of the Alfred Jewel from the Ashmolean Museum which I'm sure is what the programme producers had done.
