About this episode

With Season 8 due to return next Friday, it’s back to the archive one more time…

This week we’re heading back to the 70s, to a quiet housing estate in South East London…

Considering there have been settlers based around the area comprising present day London for over 5000 years, it's hardly surprising that under all that concrete we find remnants of those that have come before us. 

But what comes of those whose remnants have been disturbed?
