Air Date: 1997-08-10

Join leading scholars for a fascinating examination of the massive timber castles which were the pre-eminent fortification of their day, yet are now largely forgotten. It is virtually impossible to think of the Middle Ages without conjuring up images of grand stone castles. Yet throughout much of English history, they were the exception to the rule, while lords and ladies built massive castles of wood to protect their vast holdings. Journey through the English countryside to see reminders of the countless timber castles that have all but disappeared, leaving behind only the earthen mounds of their foundations. Historians reveal why these wooden fortifications were nearly equal to the much more expensive stone castles, and explain what life was like within their walls. See stunning reconstructions that show what these mighty fortifications looked like and how they were built. And explore fascinating new archaeological evidence that which casts new light on our knowledge and understanding of a time when England was dominated by these long-vanished timber castles.

This captivating program introduces the fascinating characters who have contributed to the lore of the Loch Ness Monster: men like British naval officer Russell Flint, who collided with a huge animal in the middle of the loch, and Tim Dinsdale, whose 16mm film of the monster spurred three decades of investigation. Examine the findings of several underwater explorations of the loch, and contemplate the possible explanations of how a massive animal might escape detection by scientific means, yet still be seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses.
