A Special Team

The Secrets of Stonehenge: A Time Team Special is the televised culmination of six years of dedicated work by a huge team of archaeologists.  They began digging not only the prehistoric focal point itself but, crucially, the surrounding landscape. 

The hour-long programme is fronted by Time Team veteran Tony Robinson.  Whether you know him from his political activities with the Labour party or as the affable Baldrick from the BBC show Blackadder, his name is now synonymous with British archaeology.
