The main issue with genetics (IMHO) is that a lot of it is super sexy impactful stuff which means it get published in Nature or Science (the best journals out there) who have very short article limits so you end up with these simple headline grabbing stories rather than the nuanced discussion we need.
Not so up on Viking stuff, but for the start of farming in Britain about 4000 BC (which is what we're interested in via the Freston work) it no seems that the whole farming 'package' was introduced by migrant populations from the continent and they eventually largely replaced the indigenous hunter-gatherers and then the same thing (population replacement) happens when the so-called Beaker folk come in around 2500 BC |
You do wonder what you could find if you get a decent dig on “doggerland” or had that flooded by the time you are looking at? | |

Remember those days, I’m a mate of Viv Sparkes, spent some drunken nights in the Rope Walk staff club with yourself, Monkey, Tim. Happy days indeed. |  | | |

No mention of the underpants empire that Mrs Pretty's late husband presided over.
Margaret 'Peggy' Piggott, who later became Margaret Guido, had an interesting life, both personally and professionally. |  |

Oh Sparkey bless his cotton socks; they were phenomenal times - never worked with a bunch of people I liked more; still see a bunch of them today (paid Tim to make our sieves for Freston, usually chat about game via FB messenger with Monkey and Stuart).
Not seen Sparkey in aeons, give him my love, top bloke |  | | |

Doggerland is under water by time of Neolithic but appears to be a very rich area and they occasionally dredge up Palaeolithic and Mesolithic stuff and more recently I think there's been some dedicated research (I think it's estimated that 30% of Palaeolithic Europe is now underwater because of sea-level rise post-Ice Age), but working off land is difficult and very expensive | | | |

I thought most of the time Fiennes and his wife's accent were not far off.
My dad was a little boy living just down the road from Sutton Hoo and my grandad worked on a nearby farm at the time (1939), I can imagine the excitement when it was all uncovered. Anyway my grandparents had 'proper' suffolk accents as did my dad so it brought back nice memories for me personally. |  | | |

I concur, just finished it, was nice and warming, but not exactly edge of the seat stuff, which is to be expected.
Yeah that couple was a bit odd, didn't really add to much.
I suppose if you have been to the site and walked around the house then you probably didn't learn that much, but obviously lots haven't.
Sad story about the family, the fact that the son never returned and died relatively young was sad to read. |
The guy in the romantic story with Peggy didn't exist. He's the only fictional character in the film.
The book on which it's based was written by Peggy PIggott's nephew. Amongst other things he also wrote A Very British Scandal about the Jeremy Thorpe scandal. | |
