Digging For Britain is a television series on archaeology made by 360 Production for the BBC, starting in August 2010. It is presented by Dr Alice Roberts.[1][2]

The series focuses on archaeological excavations and research in the UK, both at new sites and those already well-known to science. Filming has taken place in many parts of the country.

The first series consisted of four episodes, initially broadcast on BBC Two in August and September 2010. A second series of four episodes was broadcast in September 2011. The programme returned as a series of three episodes on BBC Four in February 2015, covering the previous summer's investigations, and again in the same format in March 2016.

Archaeologist Matt Williams co-presented the 2015 series and the first episode of 2016.
