Sounds good. 🙂

Hmm cant see it on the tv listing. the one tonight is

Reservoir Rituals
1/14, series 18
"It's a dream, Tony: you can stub your toe on the prehistory," one of the grizzled archaeologists enthuses to Tony Robinson as they size up a beautiful hidden valley, high up on Dartmoor. At least, it was beautiful once: right now it's a giant mud bath because it has been flooded since 1861 and used as a reservoir. Now, freshly drained, it offers our straggle-haired heroes a chance to explore previously submerged cairns and stone circles while talking about stratigraphy and geo-phys. What their reservoir digs uncover is well worth the champagne they crack open to celebrate the series' 200th excavation - and well worth watching.
