Just to add a brief comment to those already very succinctly made - I thoroughly enjoyed this programme and thought Neil Oliver was a well chosen presenter. Although an archaeologist, he is clearly not an expert on Silbury but his enthusiasm, enquiring manner and genuine sense of awe when inside the tunnel hit the right note for me. I was totally absorbed.

The sixties clips came across as a sad, misguided adventure - out of time, there is no doubt that Silbury is treated with vastly more reverence and respect today by both the archaeology world and the many people who simply love and cherish ancient (sacred) sites.

I really wish I had managed to get my act together and record the programme to go back to, but hopefully a DVD will be available at a later date.
