A History of Ancient Britain

Whilst I was recently shopping in a well known supermarket I took the chance to have a quick look through the BBC Histoty magazine (I know, cheapskate!) Anyway, there was a couple of page feature on a new series coming up presented by Neil Oliver covering Britain from Boxgrove man up to the Roman invasion. There were lots of photos of prehistoric sites etc. It looks like it could be a cracking series. It looks like the series could be starting in February but I have no definite start dates. Should be worth keeping an eye out for!

Excellent to see more exposure for our ancient site beyond Stonehenge- it seems as the present gets progressively more grim and prospects of a positive future become dim, we can look for some comfort in our ancient past- perhaps nothing is new?

It feels as though there's a tv band wagon rolling at present - tonight was the last episode of Tony Robinson's Birth of Britain and last week Iain Stewart's Men of Rock finished - both geology based and both very good. I hope A History Of Ancient Britain dawdles a bit around the Neolithic period and shows some ancient sites.
