Britain's Pompeii: A Village Lost in Time
(BBC; originally transmitted on 2nd August 2016)
Professor Alice Roberts joins the team excavating a 3,000-year-old Bronze Age village in the Cambridgeshire Fens that's been called the 'British Pompeii'. The village earned its nickname because, 3,000 years ago, it burned to the ground - as it burned, it fell into the peat, preserving both the houses and their contents. Until its discovery, we had little real idea of what life was like in Bronze Age Britain. Now we can peek inside our Bronze Age ancestors' homes as archaeologists discover perfectly preserved roundhouses, and the contents inside them - right down to the utensils of their kitchens. These roundhouses were built in a style never seen in Britain before - testimony not only to the villagers' technical skills, but also of their connections to Europe.
The 3,000-year-old village is so well-preserved it looks like it burned to the ground only yesterday
The team has made other incredible discoveries on the dig - from Britain's oldest-found wheel, to swords used in battle, and bowls still containing preserved remnants of food. One of the biggest revelations is the discovery of a complete set of the early technology used to produce cloth - a full industrial process we've never seen in Britain before. This glimpse into domestic life 3,000-years-ago is unprecedented, but it's also transforming our impressions of Bronze Age Britain - far from being poor and isolated, it seems the villagers were successful large-scale farmers who used their farming surplus to trade with Europe, exchanging their crops for beautiful glass jewellery and multiple metal tools per household. As part of the dig, the archaeologists are also investigating the cause of the fire - was it just a terrible accident, or did the villagers' wealth provoke an attack? Professor Roberts says - 'There are so many exciting finds - and so many revelations - it is as if we're reaching back across 3,000 years to shake hands with our ancestors'.

I,m watching the sun line decend on the beer stone, a few more degrees and the guzzling begins. Already the little animals gather for thier share.
A very British comedy, written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg and starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Rosamund Pike and Eddie Marsan.
20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King (Pegg), a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World's End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. Reaching The World's End is the least of their worries.
The film is the last of comedy collaborationists Pegg and Frost's Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy (the previous two being Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz)...

The Torment (2010)
Terrifying British horror which claims to be base on true events.
Alex (Nicholas Shaw) and Kate (Zoe Richards) are enjoying a lazy night in, a takeaway followed by a DVD. It's close to midnight and there's a knocking at the door. Alex answers it and his friend David (Giles Alderson) rushes in, informing him that his girlfriend Sarah has been cheating on him. Alex and Kate let David stay over, but soon start to regret that decision. Because David is not alone. He is seeing terrifying demonic entities and, what's more, he's brought them to the house with him....
The film is known as The Possession of David O'Reilly in America.
