ArtistsRifles Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Watched TimeTeam on C4 tonight - they covered the location and excavation of the Vampire dugout between Ypres and Paschendale. A very interesting program and well worth watching if it comes on again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevpol Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I saw it aswell, very good program, better that usual for Time Team :-D Mark :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 After all the fuss I managed to miss it, lighting damp sparklers in Grays. No fair exchange perhaps despite the goodness of the company. We will hopefully be bringing you an interview about this programme etc (which we would have got done a lot earlier if the tractor tyre market was not so parlous and my professional tea drinkers were not so professiona)l.

AlienFTM Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Good news: I had it down on Sky+ to record. Bad news: it clashed with programmes desired by Her Who Must Be Obeyed. Good news: it WAS on again. Bad news: on Channel 4+1 so if you missed it the first time, you probably missed the second too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Daft thing is proably the best thing to do to preserve it is, fill back with water. The problem is, these were never meant to be permenant structures. The clsy round there is soft and heay, as mentioned it was the pressure of the clay holding it up. that has now been disturbed. The cost and technical difficulty will proably mean it eventually just disappears. The Allies always looked upon trenches as tempoary to contain the Triple Alliance as a prelude to attack. The Triple Alliance (Germany, still a relitivly new country then, and the Austrian Hungarian Empire)made a better job of their trenches, note most concrete emplacments are their's, as if they didn't get any futher, control of the area was to be used as barganing tool.

john fox Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Good program,..............makes you wonder what was going to happen to it, once 'dig', was 'over' ?? according to one of the "quality" newspapers there's talk of making it into a tourist attraction - who funds the conservation and other work to do that is of course not mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 to make it safe for the great unwashed would destroy most of it. Cost, well here's an old cunumdrum. The paying public give money to spend on an artifact, but also put wear and tear on the structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Very True, Tony;..............the way to do it, possibly, and if someone had deep enough pockets, :sweat: would be to buy some land and replicate what's been found, only building outer shell in concrete, then 'hiding', it with the shuttering;...........would still be a major attraction, methinks........

goanna Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 We get that show here ..but its about 5 years behind the UK . And It's always out of chronological sequence too.. In one episode you see Carenza holding her infant .. then, 5 episodes later she appears and she is obviously pregnant. I've seen the 3 episodes where they dig up WW2 aircraft. Spitfire .. B17 and the Invader . I spotted the kiwi girl Brigit ,her accent is very noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
