Not a complaint , they can't include everything in the progs , but it is worth mentioning the minor point, but major for me , that Orkney is quite special in relation to Rock Art .

Lots of it , but none in an open air context , a great variety from simple incisions through to cup marks to the most ornate and all of it related to monuments , and many of them domestic .

You're quite right and I think it is important enough and should have been mentioned at the very least. Maybe it will in the final programme but by what I have read it's just going to be about the winding down of it all.

I don't think they were remiss , they did mention the presence of rock art, just not what is special about Orkney in relation to the subject .
That's for the anoraks .

In fact if they hadn't mentioned it all it wouldn't have mattered , as far as I'm concerned
Never noticed a mention of grooved ware , as yet , and that is far more important in relation to the premise of Orkney being central guff .
