Stonehenge

27th September 2008 55 mins Season 27 Episode 7

Experts have always believed that Britain's most iconic ancient monument was designed as a burial site. Two years ago a radical new theory emerged suggesting that Stonehenge was a place of healing rather than interment - a Bronze Age equivalent of Lourdes. During the first dig at the site in 50 years, archaeologists use forensic testing to see if they can unearth enough evidence to support their theory of the healing stones. NEW SEASON 1/6.

Britain's Forgotten Floods

The Asian tsunami of 2004 was a devastating natural disaster of epic proportions. Many believe a huge wave on this scale couldn't hit Europe - are they wrong? In 1607, an enormous flood engulfed Somerset and Monmouthshire claiming a huge number of lives. Professors Simon Haslett and Ted Bryant believe it was a British tsunami. Their work is controversial, with a governmental report concluding that the risk of a tsunami in Britain is small. Historian, scientist, and radio presenter Vanessa Collingridge weighs up the evidence. 2/6.
