Rory McGraths Pub Dig

History Documentary hosted by Rory McGrath, published by Channel 5 in 2011 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

Give comedian Rory McGrath (Two Men in a Trench) a hard hat, team him up with motorbike-riding field archaeologist Paul Blinkhorn, Saxon and Medieval pottery expert, and get them to dig beneath some of the country's oldest pubs. Archaeology, history, banter, beer -- it might just turn out to be a magic formula.
Rory and Paul root around beneath some of the country's oldest boozers to reveal hundreds of years of British history. Enjoying a pint or two on the way, they literally dig up the history of the pub. With their team of experts and noisy excavator machines, they dig up our favourite beer gardens and pub car parks to reveal the juiciest stories from our past. No bone, stone or ale is un-investigated in their tireless search for what makes Britain tick.
But they're not just on a drunken jolly; pubs are often the oldest buildings in our cities and towns and they sit on undisturbed vaults of archaeological treasure. And, being pubs, the sites themselves conceal the evidence of centuries of carousing, violence, revolutionary plots and a vast array of dirty deeds - the juicy bits of British history. The duo digs through time to expose the smuggling, carousing, the plotting and the violence that has shaped Britain's turbulent past.

3)  The Six Bells in St Albans
Rory McGrath, Paul Blinkhorn and the 'time gentleman please' team dig up the car park of the Six Bells in St Albans, Hertfordshire, searching for Roman treasure. They have high hopes of a good find as the pub lies within the walls of the ancient town of Verulamium and begin by drilling down through 2,000 years of history. They discover an 18th-century lime kiln, evidence of medieval pilgrimages and even a recipe for nettle beer, before unearthing a find beyond their wildest expectations that gets the archaeologists very excited indeed. The team dig through 2,000 years of booze drenched history in search of what could be a major Roman building lurking under the beer cellar.
