Digging For Britain is a television series on archaeology made by 360 Production for the BBC, starting in August 2010. It is presented by Dr Alice Roberts.
The series focuses on archaeological excavations and research in the UK, both at new sites and those already well-known to science. Filming has taken place in many parts of the country.
The first series consisted of four episodes, initially broadcast on BBC Two in August and September 2010. A second series of four episodes was broadcast in September 2011. The programme returned as a series of three episodes on BBC Four in February 2015, covering the previous summer's investigations, and again in the same format in March 2016.
Archaeologist Matt Williams co-presented the 2015 series and the first episode of 2016.
