I gave up at about the half-way mark - and am grateful that I did.

I had great hopes after the press ocnference, which was ocnducted in a professional way, and Leicester University has a lot of detail on the actual archaeology on their site (none of which apeared in the documentary).

I have the impression that when it became clear that this was going to be the Phillippa Whosis Show a lot of people started distancing themselves from the documentary. It was noticeable that the press conference was streamed by the BBC, not Channel 4, and that no one involved in the long running Time Team production crew seemed to have been included - although I'm sure that I saw a glimpse of Phil Harding at the dig site - and there were a number of people in armour about who may have been re-enactors (a Time Team staple) who never appeared in the programme.

There is probably a very good docu-drama that could be made about the making of this fiasco.
