Great Britain might be a small country but it has a huge history. Everywhere
you stand, there are worlds beneath your feet – and every year
hundreds of excavations bring lost treasures to the surface.

These amazing historical excavations are the subject of Digging For Britain,
a landmark four-part history series for BBC Two.

Presented by Dr Alice Roberts, Digging For Britain reveals some of the newest finds,
research and social history: from excavating the new temple near Skara Brae to
preparations for the first sailing of a Bronze Age ship; from uncovering new truths
about the richest ever Anglo-Saxon treasure to uncovering Shakespeare’s first theatre.
