It's been a seat of power for thousands of years and has long held the attention of archaeologists. The Team are at Bamburgh to help the Bamburgh Research Project which for a decade and a half has been digging through 1000 years of history to uncover the Saxon roots of this fortress.

Bamburgh was once home to the 'Bernician Kings', Anglo Saxon overlords who ruled great swathes of Britain. Could there be a unique stone-built hall under the carefully manicured lawns of today's castle?

As the Team hear stories of brutal death and financial wealth, and examine finds of gold jewellery and stone thrones, Phil and the diggers edge closer to a tantalising discovery.

Well Channel 4 are at it again, they have labelled this Series 19 Episode 1, and also as a special, guess they like to confuse folks.  Possibly this is actually season 18, episode 12 (excluding consideration that episode 11 was actually a late airing of a season 17 episode).
