Bone Detectives: Britain's Buried Secrets

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.

An excellent programme as regards its content, but the scripting is awful. Raksha gets away ok, but Carla is made to look half-witted. Try to make it more natural, please. The writing of stuff on a glass pane is a bit silly. Please keep going, but improve.

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!

This was information overload and grew boring very quickly. Personally felt like i was reading a textbook rather than being entertained. Herridge was especially droning. I agree with others that it was repetitive and uninspired. Nohing more should be made like this again. Please spare us. The concept had a lot of promise but unfortunately they grossly missed the mark. Im sure these people are very educated and qualified but it doesnt mean they should be allowed to have an entire netflix show. Very basic and maybe could have been ok, but no. I would skip this if you are considering giving it a watch.

As a medieval historian I found this tv show to be very interesting. Whilst it definitely leans on the side of over explanation, I understand it to be more for the sake of accessibility than as an insult to viewers. My only real complaint as a historian is that I feel they could explore more circumstances for the death and burial, but I think that's probably due to fitting the information within the allotted time. There seems to be a few people making comments about the all female presenters, which personally I didn't even notice, even if it was intended by the studio. Personally I feel if you did have an issue with it then it reflects more upon yourself than the tv show; for its about time we had some female dominated tv shows as I'm fed up of male dominated tv shows. Personally, I highly recommend this tv show to anyone, no matter how much you know about history because it's just a fun watch and really brings history alive (particularly the lives of those who are overlooked). If I wasn't already a massive history nerd, I definitely would be after watching this show.
