Tuesday 20th @ 8pm, entitled "Stonehenge:The True Story". It says here that it's a repeat, although i haven't seen it before. Just thought i'd pass this info on. Morning, all. ;) xx

edited as i forgot to put the time in. ;]

Cheers for this, SC!

I missed the first 15 mins, and think I've seen it before, but it was quite enjoyable! Apart form the dodgy re-enactments... ;o)

I liked the bit where it showed the sun positions over the year, and the monthly lunar cycles. Very interesting...

Always nice to see Newgrange, too. I gotta get me over there sometime!

Damn I missed it!

However, this would seem to be an admirable opportunity to re-publicise the following:

If you feel inclined to get seriously geeky about the Metonic Cycle, here's a page from my website on which I preserved an almost dangerously long article on the subject of the Metonic Cycle, and its relationship with Stonehenge, that I wrote in 2001:

Best of luck!

Anyone seen this uploaded anywhere ? UKNova is a blank so far, but I've picked up some US melodramatic [cue Blue Stratos voice] 'This is how it was done' stuff elsewhere that should be repetitive and underinformed.

Available on UKNova sometime later today, due to be uploaded by jaffacake :)

Strange programme...Mike Pitts at Stanton Drew being interviewed, but no mention of it all the way through.

It looked like a documentary based on Bernard Cornwell's book at times too. A [yet again] simplified version including Bluestones that weren't onsite at the time, no Slaughter stone or partner, no Heelstone partner, no mention of Station stones...shame they always have to dumb stuff down, rather than put a bit more effort in and try to answer more obvious questions.

But then, who'd watch it about from a few weirdy-beardies...like me ;)
