A 'heads up' about a two part programme about what lies underneath Stonehenge. I think the first episode is on Thursday - Ch4 - 8/9pm?
Bit vague I know but I left my TV guide at home!


A further heads-up for part 2 of 2 of 'Operation Stonehenge' tonight at 8pm BBC2


Any comments to make on the second part shown last night? I kept nodding off to be honest but took notice when they showed the gold objects right toward the end. The minute work carried out with the most basic of tools was phenomenal but I thought the comment made that 'More prehistoric gold objects have been found in the region surrounding Stonehenge than anywhere else in Britain' rather misleading and just trying to add to its importance to big the site up even more. The fact is that nowhere else has ever been excavated as much as SH so it may be no different to many other sites or areas.
All in all I don't think it fully came up to its billing. What do you think?
