I thought it was rubbish. All that stuff about 'healing'. Pah! I suspect that a huge proportion of the population at that time had chronic injuries and disease of one kind or another.

Anyone who has visited any part of the world where access to the kind of health care we enjoy is either limited or non-existent knows that chronic injuries and disease are still common and everyday among vast swathes of those populations.

Yes, people chip off bits of stone from sacred monuments, but that doesn't account for the many chips of bluestone found in the pit. If you were chipping bits off the stones you'd take them away with you not let them fall.

It was all conjecture based on *nothing*.

Very disappointed.

I was going to watch this on BBC iPlayer, but after reading the reviews here I decided against it. ;)

In my opinion, it's always a good thing to get people interested in there things, and it's always nice to see such coverage on national telly.

It's always ruddy Stonehenge though, isn't it? :)

I may well revise my decision to watch this after listening to Noddy Holder on tonight's Radcliffe and Maconie (8pm Radio 2) cos apparently he'll be talking about it*. And I respect the opinion of a 70s glam rocker more than I do you lot, anyway. He's bound to know more than you... ;)

But seriously - might be nice to hear an unbiased opinion from someone a little less close to the subject. A lay person if you like. I mean that in a good way!
