Britain's Biggest Dig

2020 · 1 season

A calm, curious look at skeletons and soil that quietly turns dusty remains into human stories from the past.

Genres

Overview
Profiling two of the massive archaeological digs along the 150-mile route of HS2, the UK’s new high-speed rail link, ahead of its start of construction. These cemetery excavations reveal forgotten stories of the rich and poor, and how Georgian-era London and industrial Birmingham left their mark on the thousands of skeletons buried there.
How it feels
