Bone Detectives: Britain's Buried Secrets

This is so insulting to the viewer. It is so amateurly scripted and directed. You can see the presenters queueing up to say their lines, inane and risible as they are. This is something that I would have expected to see as a six year old on kids TV back in the 60s. The fact that this is being shown this on primetime evening TV now shows how much the media has "dumbed down"

I am a semi retired teacher who produced a book which Prof Sir Michael Rutter described as an interesting and informative guide. In all my years of teaching history I have never understood how who the Beaker People were until this series. The BBC is over rated and it is great to watch these off beat series on History eg Walking Roman Roads, which have a fresh outlook. Lead presenter excellent.

Rubbish Borring Programme. The only people that appear to be excited by this series are the female presenters. maybe it's the thought they are actually getting paid for this rubbish that excites them? And what is with all these disgusting tattoos? The BBC has to be sold off to save the British Tax Payers from being ripped off! No value for money!

I love this show please make more episodes pleasepleaseplease!!! I especially love the episodes about the really old skeletons but the ones about skeletons from the industrial revolution were cool too. I love how the information is presented in a crime documentary way (especially when there wasnt actually a "crime" involved in the persons death). Anyway i need there to be more episodes of this. Thank you.

A disappointing slog through what could have been fascinating material. Information overload combined with stiff delivery made this nearly unwatchable. Tori Herridge's segments were especially monotonous, droning on with textbook facts rather than engaging storytelling. Save yourself the time and skip this one. I was excited about the concept but quickly found myself checking how much time was left in each episode. Tori Herridge speaks as if she's lecturing undergrads who are forced to be there. Her lack of real expertise clearly doesn't translate to engaging television. I don't know who this show is for but it wasn't for me.
