Yeah, what they don't show you on Time Team is the big team of archaeologists who work for a week after the filming has finished to record the site...Abwehrschlachthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947283932230918452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297968378523143704.post-7718592190198678472015-08-21T20:05:57.599+01:002015-08-21T20:05:57.599+01:00Thanks for the heads up- I don't watch much TV...Thanks for the heads up- I don't watch much TV these days but I'll keep an eye out for it.<br /><br />Great pictures of your dig too.

They said yes as long as there was no big reveals'. I haven't posted all we found and just some incongruous digging photos. I shall link to the program when it is released on Iplayer!

It's also particularly generous given that often the film crew likes to keep material, and photos, like this under wraps until the programme airs. So thanks again and kudos to you, Sir! <br /><br />I shall certainly be watching the programme when it comes out and telling my wife "I know that chap!!"Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297968378523143704.post-57170313274886993772015-08-19T20:39:12.443+01:002015-08-19T20:39:12.443+01:00No problem Michael, I am glad you liked the post. ...No problem Michael, I am glad you liked the post. That is a shame about the program, but you never know it may end up on Youtube. There are loads of examples of soldier's graffiti all over northern France, these ones were new to me though.

I would watch the program, but annoyingly, BBC TV shows aren't usually streamed to Canadian IP addresses. :(<br />I have seen similar chalk graffiti left by Canadian soldiers at Vimy.<br />Cheers,<br />MichaelMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.com
