From BBC2 website:

Professor Sue Black and her team use forensic science to shed light on the past.

When the remains of 17 people - men, women and 11 children, one as young as two years old - were discovered in a dry well shaft in Norwich city centre, the local community were keen for answers about who these people were and what happened to them.

Thought to date from the early 1200s, this becomes a case of suspected medieval murder but the final reveal of the identity of these people is an even bigger shock to all involved.

I watched the previous (1st?) series and they were very good.  Thanks for the heads-up   :)

Only 4 programmes in this series.  Wish they would do a 6 parter far more logical, but I suppose they all have real jobs to do!

Great programme

EDIT: Next weeks' programme is showing as episode 2 at present, so whether they show them in order, or we get episode 1 or 2 remains to be seen.

Typical of the BBC, to think that the whole of the country is really that interested in tennis, we get so few decent history programmes these days.  And it is refreshing for a programme not to treat the viewers as stupid.

I don't remember the first series, but I've made a note to watch this series.  Glad it's on a Thursday, one of my OH's regular nights out so I can watch in peace.
