Excellent program (even allowing for the needless bits - did he really need to climb that rock stack?) It brought back a lot of happy memories of my trip to Orkney. Looking forward to the next episode! :)

Marvellous what a bit of social organisation can do, excellent building material lying around, enough food on the table? and creativity is the order of the day. My gripe was MPP/Stonehenge turning up. Excellent programme as you say.

Yeah, good telly overall. Maeshowe always makes good viewing (check out the Drude's own take on it via YouTube) and I never tire of hearing how much older and more important the antiquities of the northern islands are compared to the over-exposed (but still wonderful, mind) Stonehenge.

The rock-climbing bit was indeed unnecessary though - and the guy's achievement in climbing that stack was pretty much cancelled out by the cameramen who'd clearly beaten him to it!
