Thanks lyn, my series link said 4 so I thought I must have missed one but maybe there's another soon about re-burials and artefacts. (Probably just my Skybox on the blink!)

Rosie, I was confused too as my Radio Times said 3 episodes but the guide on my freebox said 4. Glad you brought it up and it's been clarified.
 
I note that the tree climbers are back out trying to disrupt the progress of HS2, they are damaging the 'bat habitat' that they're so called 'protecting'
 
thought this was a good as place an any for this mystery..i wonder how long they mean when they say the human remains have been there for some time

Well, I reckon that the position shown in the photo is about where red marker is on the c1889 map, so not inconceivable that it could be an original burial from St Bartholemew's graveyard

thanks mike that does seem possible and if so other remains may turn up will follow this one with great interest

I wonder if they were dumped and buried as an early effort of protest like we are seeing now with the Colston statue in Bristol.
 
There was a piece on this on the 1.00 BBC News, which presumably will be repeated on later editions
