Sorry if I upset some others' view of the programme. I grant that his task was to review a wide span of historical activity, but he repeatedly slipped into cliche AND telling us the obvious. A difficult task for anyone to undertake, I accept..........I can only relate my personal reaction. I'm no expert, but have been following archaeology for many years and so I expect new and original insights in such a programme.
At the risk of upsetting more folks, there will be views on here shortly about "Digging for Britain - North", and I'll chip in there too!
