It was impossible to get lost in Britain during the Stone Age, or at least it wasn't when you were making use of GPS coordinates and Britain's first ancient - crude version of a - satellite navigation system system. That is, according to Tom Brooks who says that the Stone Age's satnav was based on the stone circle and other megalithic markers that can be found all over southern England and Wales. Historian and writer Tom Brooks, says this shows that Britain’s Stone Age ancestors were 'sophisticated engineers' and far from a barbaric race.

There are nearly 1,000 prehistoric stone circles in Britain and Rupert Soskin - together with producer Michael Bott - has visited over 100 of them, making an astonishing documentary about these magnificent Neolithic and Bronze monuments, focussing on a lot of the lesser known prehistoric stone monuments from megalithic Britain. Barrows, henges, borrows, cists, thrilitons and solitary megaliths, Soskin covers them all. 'Standing with Stones' wants to take the viewer beyond Stonehenge - that all-too familiar icon of Stone Age Britain - on an incredible journey of discovery that reveals the true wealth and extent of Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain & Ireland.

Desperate to figure out before the Summer Solstice 2009 what Stonehenge is all about, but you can't decide which theory - sacrifices, calendar, discotheque, burial site, religious temple, neolithic art - to go with?
