Digging for Britain
Digging For Britain is a British television series on archaeology made by 360 Production for the BBC, first aired in August 2010. It is presented by Alice Roberts.
The series focuses on archaeological excavations and research in the United Kingdom, both at new sites and those already well-known to science. Filming has taken place in many parts of the country.
The first series consisted of four episodes, initially broadcast on BBC Two in August and September 2010. A second series of four episodes was broadcast in September 2011. The programme returned as a series of three episodes on BBC Four in February 2015, covering the previous summer's investigations in several geographical regions of the United Kingdom. The same format was adopted for series 4 and 5, which first aired in March and December 2016 respectively. A sixth series of the programme began airing in November 2017, returning to the four-episode format. This structure was retained for series 7 and 8, which began airing in November 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Archaeologist Matt Williams co-presented series 3 and the first episode of series 4. Another Time Team alumna, Raksha Dave, was a presenter in series 7.Episodes
