Watched the show, but found it a bit "stodgey", almost as if they were deliberately drawing it out or trying to inject a false sense of expectation about the dating. Oh for the days of Chronicle and pre-dumbed down Horizon.

i guess as with most programmes of this nature they try to appeal a wide audience and was dumbed down a little. i did find it interesting to watch the archive footage of Atkinson back in the 60's and to see inside the tunnel when it was re-excavated recently and the incredible amount of 'iron mongery' as it was referred to in there  plus there was the engaging mike parker pearson sharing his views on the subject

Absolutely! Whatever happened to Horizon? Superb series (in its earlier days).
