Digging For Britain - Trailer

Presented by Dr Alice Roberts, Digging For Britain is a landmark four-part history series, coming soon to BBC Two.

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.

The series 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 find of Anglo-Saxon treasure to uncovering Shakespeare's first theatre.
