I was not disappointed by the programme, for which I'd spent a weekday evening in the loft twiddling with the new digi aerial we needed to get BBC four again. Thanks to those who posted the info and broadcast times for the show.

I knew it would fall short on some of the detail (no mention of the purpose of the moat, no mention of the 17' high radial wall construction of Silbury III) and being prepared for that I really enjoyed it. I always find Neil O. to be an enthusiastic presenter, and as my nephew got permission to stay up to watch it on my recommendation that can't be a bad thing.

I agree that seeing footage of the collapses and other interior shots does give you a better perspective than the stills from the EH updates, and the dedication of the EH/Skanska people was commendable.

I was surprised at how often they seemed to mention the hill being in danger, when that's something EH play down, and was a bit perplexed by what the Inspector of Ancient Momuments said when viewing the damage after the downpour - she said words to the effect of 'it'll cost alot but we can't just walk away from it'. This struck me as an odd thing for someone charged with the care of culturally priceless, irreplaceable monuments to say in private, never mind to camera. Why would you walk away from it? (I'm probably reading too much into it)

Good to see Neil Burridge doing the bronze working too.

The show before it was good too - with some bits of the "Chronicle - Silbury Dig".
