I was disappointed that there was nothing at all on the Llewelyn Bowen side too, never mind.

I was also disappointed that he didn't get out a huge roll of paper and crayon and take a rubbing of the grave stone. It's the first thing I would have thought of, if I'd been so lucky to have found one! ;D

I had really been looking forward to this being a fan of his but I was so disappointed  :( 

 I'm afraid I  found it all rather boring  ::)

I thought too that  he would at least have photograph that beautiful tomb inscripition   :P

I agree with the posters in relation to photgraphs etc.  Of course we only see the edited and finished product but I feel sure that the subjects record something of their search or it is done for them and handed over later.  I really cannot believe that they would not.

The thought just occurs to me - even if I had been shown the stone I probably wouldn't have had a roll of paper and a brass rubbing crayon in my pocket!!

Yeah, but then you wouldn't have a film crew in tow either  ;D

No that is very true.  Anyway I feel sure that the programme researchers could have suggested that someone involved somewhere could have had a brass-rubbing kit handy.  It was just my very feeble attempt at a jest!!!!

I'm sure if it had been Linda Barker, she would have had paper and a crayon  ;D
