Two Men in a Trench (2002– )
9/10
Great Historical Battles Simply Told
5 September 2010
My wife and I look forward to our weekly dose of "Two Men In A Trench" on the SBS2 network in Australia. This show traces the old battles of England and Scotland through archaeology and historical research. The men's enthusiasm is high as they pursue nuances and detail that date back 400 to 1300 years.

A very engaging show for history buffs and a great learning experience for those who thought high school history was too dry or boring.

This show looks at the real lives of the combatants and the locals of the hinterlands at the time.

The other part of the show that "gets one in" so to speak is the linking of modern life with the narrative of the past.
