Helen Castor and her guests discuss listener's questions and the latest research that's making history. This week: What next for archaeology on TV now that Time Team has been scrapped, and what has the programme achieved? Tony Robinson joins in the discussion with Professor Sir Barry Cunliffe and Marion Blockley. Phil Harding takes us up onto the Marlborough Downs in Wiltshire to the spot where he first realised that he wanted to be an archaeologist. Tom Holland visits Europe's most important Bronze Age site, Flag Fen near Peterborough, to meet Francis Pryor who discovered this ancient causeway exactly thirty years ago. And the team at Dig Ventures explain how crowd-funding might well be the way that archaeological digs are financed in the future.
