Missed the Newsnight footage, but the article clearly shows the correspondent has been put on a bonus for each metaphor and hyperbole. Ruined what could have been a reasonable summation for those bods who didn't know about Silbury.

The good old days of BBC English seem to have been passed by for ever.

Well watching it in 'theatre' mode on my computer this morning (god you can't beat technology sometime) there was a sense of sadness and lump in the throat about it all. The two miners handfilling a void at one point, marvelling at the people who had constructed it; Atkinson when questioned about his 'methods' said "this sort of criticism is very silly" ye gods..... and the final shot from WKLB looking towards Silbury, think the cameraman had managed to capture the spiritual essence of megaliths and Silbury - in all a very revealing insight into the interior of Silbury.
