While the cases they solve are a little too far fetched at times, the terrific cast of actors in this 2008 BBC action/adventure series make it work. Julie Graham is outstanding as Gillian Magwilde, leader of a university archaeology team with a knack for finding historical objects that always seem to turn into pieces of a much bigger puzzle. Hugh Bonneville is equally enjoyable as her curmudgeonly co-worker, Dr. Parton. The series does a nice job of bringing history to life, primarily through the passion that the characters have for the things they find, even though the big mystery they are all trying to solve is ultimately disappointing.
