powerdesal Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I believe Time Team did a recent episode about a WW 1 weapon, including a reconstruction by the Royal Engineers. Anyone see it? and does anyone know how I can access it on the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I saw it although I not sure if it was Time Team. The RE's were very impressive and so was the weapon - I'll have a look for it later this evening, unless someone beats me to it.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 JJ, I haven't seen it. I picked up the reference from the Army Rumour Service site, ARRSE and was intrigued.I have checked your links but Channel 4 say no can do here (France), thats why I need help in accessing it.

cooperlola Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 You need a poxy server, Steve. I use Onspeed from here to get UK TV programmes. I have a feeling that the free Expatshield doesn't work for Channel 4 (or didn't).Time Team is repeated ad infinintum on More 4 so do keep an eye out there.

Renaud Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Where did you dig-up this programme? From the fragment you describe it must have been part of a once mighty series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
