Hot news for Mark Horton....
Although he worked with and inspired a great detectorsit friend of mine... he still felt he could belittle and condenced SHAME
however... his enemy was closer at hand...
Oh Mark Mark Mark... and I am sure his involvement with the Rapperee Cove (Devon) slaves had nothing to do with that storyline...?
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."

Quote:quote:Hugh (Gregory 'Dolly' Parton) was born in London and studied theology at Cambridge before training as an actor. He began in theatre, joining the Royal Shakespeare Company before moving into television and films. He married artist Lulu Evans in 1998 and they have one son.
Besides a long-held interest in history, in real life Hugh insists he doesn't have much in common with his character Gregory, who sports curly hair, glasses and a fedora - in a nod to Indiana Jones.
But he does admit to doing the odd spot of metal detecting.
"I'm quite sad actually at heart," he admits. "I'm fascinated by what lies beneath our feet, which is what this series is about. I grew up in the south of England where there's been a huge amount of archaeology going on, and I live very near a Roman road. I tragically asked my wife a few years ago for a metal detector, which she bought me, and I found a 1730-something penny in my dad's back garden, which is worth absolutely nothing.
"But metal detecting is quite entertaining...
Oh Mark Mark Mark... and I am sure his involvement with the Rapperee Cove (Devon) slaves had nothing to do with that storyline...?
