Bayeux Tapestry arrives in London

The Bayeux Tapestry has arrived at The British Museum on loan from France. Helen Geake and Martyn Williams speak to medieval embroidery expert Alex Makin who got an exclusive preview of the new display before the rest of the public got to see it.
Derek Pitman joins the podcast from Northumberland where a Time Team X-Crew dig has been underway. Historian and writer Alistair Moffat gives some context to the lawless border region where the shieling sites are situated.
Dr Hugh Willmott takes you on a tour of the second season of excavations at Cerne Abbas, a forgotten abbey at the foot of the famous Cerne Abbas chalk giant in Dorset.
