The list of Roadshows happening as part of the Big Roman Dig 2005 will grow over the coming weeks. Watch this space!

Only three weeks to go and still there is absolutely nothing listed. Has this element of the Big Roman Dig been cancelled?

Don't give up hope, old lad.
IIRC, it was pretty last minute with The Big (non-Roman) Dig whenever it was. Something will happen. Whether it'll be as gargantuan what was intimated is another matter though.

Exactly. I did absolutely nothing with the Big Dig and even forgot about it being on - missed the programme itself.

Some of us sat through the whole thing on videotape. With our mouths hanging open, occasionally frothing a bit and frequently yelling "Shut up, you gormless muppet!" as yet another breathless dimwit reporter told us how fantastic sitting in someone's back garden in Droitwich was - while watching a grannie dig up some manky old lost toys.

Thank gawd there aren't any test pits this time round. Mind you, there's always a risk of Eddie Izzard. Oh, the horror...

Oh, and just in case, it's just that as an archaeologist, the great Eddie just confirmed his reputation as brilliant comedian...

Blimey. I did the post code search thing to find out about roadshow events near to me and the nearest to Cardiff seems to be Chedworth Roman villa! Aren't any institutions in Southern Wales interested?
