Time Team Digs - A History Of Britain Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb.........

Channel 4's TIME TEAM is without a doubt the most popular and longest-running history programme on television, using their own unique and entertaining style to make archaeology popular and accessible.

Over the past decade, the team have completed more than 140 excavations, spanning the history of the British Isles from the Bronze Age up to modern times.

Time Team Digs: A History Of Britain includes eight especially made programmes featuring the best and most exciting digs from the series to cover the history of the British Isles. In true Time Team fashion, you'll share in the discovery of artefacts from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, the Roman Invasion, Roman Britain, the Dark Ages, Norman Britain, Medieval Britain and Modern Britain.

From amazing Bronze age finds in Worcester, Dorset and Somerset to the discovery of a missing late 18th Century viaduct in South Wales, and from a beautiful Roman tiled mosaic floor in Cirencester to a fabulous hoard of Italian pottery found in a Spanish Armada shipwreck, Time Team Digs: A History Of Britain reveals a trench full of important historical information and exciting discoveries.

In fact, highlights from more than 50 TIME TEAM digs are featured along with crisp historical narrative from some of Britain's most expert historians in conversation with Tony Robinson.

This first ever DVD set also comes with a host of exclusive bonus special features, including a new introduction to each disc by Mick Aston, the complete 1997 and 1999 Christmas Specials, a thirty minute 'Behind the Scenes with Time Team' report and an interview with Tony Robinson. A must for any fan of the show or anyone who is interested in history or archaeology!

A good overview

This DVD is quite long and includes the best of Time Team digs through different stages of UK history. This one included Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman Invasion and Roman Occupation. Got it for the kids, but I think I enjoyed it more than they did. It was a good overview of the different eras and the style is very audience-inclusive.
