The whole team that worked on this series are truly masters of their fields. Shortly after first discovering this series years ago, i found out how remarkable Sue Black is. After working with law enforcement on identifying remains & determining what had happened to them, she went one step further. Having worked on cases of paedophilia, she thought of using confiscated photos & videos that show the hands of perpetrators to identify them from their hands. She was extremely successful & aside from working with law enforcement throughput Europe, she gives presentations on it. Truly amazing woman.

I recognised Sue Black as someone that i had seen achieve something significant but i couldnt remember what. Thank-you for reminding me. She risked her emotional sanity(along with others in the same field) to research a ground-breaking predator identification method. Hundreds to thousands of images and videos of kids being abused that you cant unsee. Its people like her that deserve to be knighted, rather than fim and tv stars.

I just found this series last week and am binge watching it during quarantine. This program is wonderfully done, intelligent, interesting, and it is so sad that it is no longer being produced. We need more programming like this. As an archaeologist, it is challenging to make what can be highly scientific information both entertaining and accessible to the general public without losing the vital content. Cheers to you all from sunny Arizona, USA, and I hope you decide to do more documentaries during your careers.

I agree. I am also an archaeologist and it can be a challenge to make the science interesting and comprehensible. When doing outreach, I have experienced some people that are not interested in the data collection or understanding site context, people find the behind the scenes paperwork boring, but want to know the story--even though you need all of this information to infer what was going on. This show does a great job interweaving the theories, history, and research in an entertaining way. We need more programs like this. All the best, from the Pacific Northwest!

Love how the show explains that being buried in the PRIVATE CHAPEL of a NOBLEMAN's CASTLE means that the people there had to be HIGH STATUS and you still get amateur armchair historians arguing that they know better. Guys both Blacksmiths AND Archers are pulled from the low caste PEASANTRY. They are NOT High Status enough to receive burial in a Castle's PRIVATE CHAPEL. This leaves only a Knight or a member of the Lord of the Castle's family as potential people who could be buried in the Chapel. As a well built man with his type of injuries it SCREAMS Knight since we KNOW he can't be anything lower class because otherwise he'd be buried OUTSIDE the castle walls (as they were NOT in a siege during the time point the Carbon 14 and Isotope data allows for.) Ergo STFU, sit back, and let the EXPERTS do their jobs!

I believe they made an error when assuming that because he grew up in France that he was not Scottish. The upper class of Scotland often sent their children to be raised and educated in France. He could very well have been the second son of a prominent family. Second sons would not inherit and often became knights. During such a turbulent time, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he could have been sent away from the turmoil and educated as the "spare" inheritor of an estate, but became a knight as his older brother lived to adulthood. This may not be the case, but ignoring this possibility could have led the investigation in the wrong direction.

It looks very much as if the knight was English or French. However I believe the guy said his diet from around the age of eight to 15 was that of someone from Southern England or Coastal Northern France. It may be that the child/young man was a Scottish hostage in England, in the same way that the captured English Knight sent his son north to take his place as a hostage. If that boys bones are examined now they may well conclude that he was Scottish because between the ages of eight and fifteen he had eaten lots of haggis and deep fried Mars Bars.
