The fascinating work of the world-renowned Professor Sue Black and her team at the Centre For Anatomy And Human Identification at the University Of Dundee comes under the spotlight in a new documentary series.
Analysing the skeletons of everyday people from across the ages, the team reveals in staggering detail how each person lived his or her life, opening new windows on the history of our forebears by literally fleshing out the person that the skeleton once was.
Much more than just looking at historical remains, the History Cold Case team work on answering three big questions for each skeleton: Who were they? Why did they die? And what does their life story explain that was not known before?
These remarkable stories of everyday people are painstakingly reconstructed, along with faces that haven't been seen for hundreds of years. Skeletons unearthed in a range of circumstances include a bizarre mummy discovered by accident in the cellar of a Victorian house. Travelling all over the UK, the team unravel personal stories from Roman times to the early 20th century.
This is a new TV show on BBC2. Honestly, I couldn't give a crap about it. Has anyone seen the trailer though? I want to know what the song playing in the background is!
