Does anyone know when this is going to be shown on this side of the Atlantic? It premiered on the 3rd of March in the U.S..
Shot in Ireland at a cost of $40 million (see here), it looks interesting but is allegedly not without its historical inaccuracies.

I note that this is on Lovefilm and there is one month free trial available for it.0 -
Should have stuck it on yesterday, apologies for the late notice ! tonight Britain's Stone Age Tsunami, again on Channel 4, but this time I myself missed the start a while ago, so it's replayed on Channel 4+1 and starting at 9pm. Hope someone else will catch it in time !
edit : goddammit, all these kind of entertainment channels are unwatchable on my sky tonight, enjoy if yours are working.

I think they replaced it in the schedule with a different programme called Human Swarm which was quite interesting but nothing to do with archaeology! They actually played the opening credits and titles for the Stone Age Tsunami one and then the other one started. Bit of a mess with C4!0 -

It will be too late for most, but this seems to be a series of which I'm watching an episode right now on Eden +1 Sky 533, so might be replayed, and other episodes should be good : The Incredible Human Journey. This episode is on Europe, and very interesting, with reconstruction of a neanderthal's face, and great geographical information.
After it is another documentary which sounds great called Are we still evolving ? which I think is a series too.
Hope someone will be happy to catch replays

TV is broken so I've fallen back on Youtube this week, fancied a bit of a documentary.
So I found this American series that is pure dramatic rubbish on one hand, but kind of interesting on the other hand
.
So, to be taken with a pinch of salt, if the dramatic music, staged dialogues, and snippets of "movies" don't make you too mad, it is interesting to look at sites and stories involving old stones in America.
Surely beyond the 18th and 19th century hoaxes (which in themselves are interesting) there must be some genuine older archeological/historical clues to be gleaned.
Also, I think I might just brand myself a forensic geologist, since I could tell as much as him that the stones are "weathered"... and so they are ... old. :P
I wonder could I make a series here in Ireland telling people which stones are "weathered".
Anyway, here it is, if you have time to kill : http://youtu.be/l_WSoNrXxlE
I've only watched the Stonehenge and Roanoke ones, and couldn't quite finish, but they are interesting subjects.0 -
Ok, not really tv, but don't want to be posting in unsuitable places, so here's a bit of comic relief, thought it was worth posting here

'Digging for Ireland' aired on BBC1 last night (23/2/15) and included segments on Dunluce Castle, the Hill of Ward (Tlachta), bog bodies, the Corrib dugout boats and excavations at Spike Island.
Hopefully the link will work.

Edit: the link probably won't work, so here's a link to a video discussing the discovery of infant remains at the Hill of Ward.
