In 2016, a group of archaeologists embarked on a mission to unearth clues to Britain's forgotten past. The Digging for Britain program follows these exciting discoveries, filmed as they happen. From the Bronze Age village, dubbed "Britain's Pompeii," with its perfectly preserved roundhouses at Must Farm, to the search for the decisive Battle of Barnett from the Wars of the Roses, these digs reveal secrets long buried. The show also explores early Christian burials in Norfolk, showcasing how ancient pagan traditions were blended with the new religion, and uncovers the rectangular stage of Shakespeare's Curtain Theatre. Finally, it delves into the surprising story of King Alfred the Great, whose legendary victory over the Vikings may have been a shared alliance, and reveals how Viking technology, like the simple iron stirrup, led to the eventual conquest of Britain.
