However, as they hunt for clues, it seems the duo's most potent enemy could be the local Somerset cider.
Archaeologists Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver investigate the 1689 Battle of Killiecrankie, when the Highland clans, lead by Bonnie Dundee, rose up against English troops supporting William of Orange, bringing about the first Jacobite rebellion. As they conduct their excavation, the pair come across a sniper's den and the remains of a house lost more than 300 years ago.
Archaeologists Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver travel to the White Cliffs of Dover in search of clues to one of the forgotten conflicts of World War Two - the Battle of the Big Guns, which lasted from 1940 to 1944. After they set up their HQ, the pair search for evidence of Winnie and Jane, two of the long-range British weapons which fired across the Channel, and visit France to see their German counterparts.
