#diggingforbritain — Public Fediverse posts

Oh, I saw someone post that #DiggingForBritain had been cancelled - I'm glad that was wrong. #archaeology https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2026/digging-for-britain-returns-with-new-presenting-team

I've just discovered that there's to be no more Digging For Britain:

This has been the only truely sensible programme on the BBC for some time and Alice has been the uniquely perfect presenter. Strictly speaking she ought really to be running the #BBC by now.

Good showing of #DigVentures t-shirts on #DiggingForBritain tonight. #archaeology

So I was watching an episode of the latest series of Digging For Britain and Meg Russell came on and... her hair! I love that bright red, I'll do that to mine one day. One day...

Amazing carnyx on #DiggingForBritain . #archaeology

Just thought I hadn’t heard anything about #DiggingForBritain coming back. It is, on 7th Jan.🙂 #D4B13 #archaeology https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002pl56

Czy moglibyśmy mieć już w Polsce taki program tv o #archeologia jak #TimeTeam albo #DiggingforBritain? Czy będę skazany na wieczne oglądanie brytyjskich wykopalisk a nie polskich?

The completely brilliant and lovely lovely lovely Alice Roberts on Desert Island Discs:

BBC News - UK's biggest ever dinosaur footprint site unearthed

"It has a silver-and-gilt hilt, with a decorative pattern in fine craftsmanship, and a blade bearing a runic script. Even elements of its leather-and-wood scabbard and the beaver fur that lined it have also survived. Attached to its pommel is a ring, perhaps symbolising an oath to a king or another high-status individual."

#Archaeology #AngloSaxon #DiggingForBritain

After the #DiggingForBritain cameras stopped rolling last summer in Forty Hall, we discovered a building with a very deep rubble-filled cellar, possibly within our elusive Tudor palace gatehouse.
The rubble was so deep we were unable to safely excavate it completely with the time remaining, but did get a tantalizing glimpse of this octagonal pillar base, probably a support for the cellar ceiling.
We'll be back from July 7th-21st to get to the bottom of this new building.
