I quite enjoyed it - as I said some way above, it's always nice to see such things on yer telly!
I wasn't convinced by much of it - the connection to Stonehenge was dubious: the passage from Durrington, being life, to Stonehenge, being death and transition to ancestor... The "100 men to raise the timbers", I felt, was a bit of an exaggeration! The phalluses seemed a bit of a damp squib. Did I miss something? Were they chalk? If so, does chalk not form in nodes? Or were they flint? I lost interest for a bit, for some reason, and suspect it was at that point.
Did anyone else get the feel of a sporting arena? Or was that misleading, with the spearheads in the pigs, teh roasts, etc..? I think I glassed over at that point too!
The reconstruction was impressive though. Looked good!
One more thing - they made a big thing about it being a massive, impressive, white, chalky henge - how long would it have remained white before grenery started to grow on it? I'm thinking of chalk cuttings for roads, etc - they seem to grow back quite quickly...
