I love history, Stonehenge and Donald Sutherland.
Normally I would be in front of the tv and taking it all in but if I hear "Parker Pearson" one more time I think I will scream.
The archeologist in this video is NEVER--at least not more than 30 minutes into it--referred to as Dr Pearson, Mr Pearson or just plain Pearson!
Parker Pearson obviously likes the sound of his full name--or at least his first and surnames--and this makes the entire program sound contrived.
Quite frankly 35 minutes into the program I really don't care what Parker Pearson believes.
If you are easily annoyed--STAY AWAY! If you are not easily annoyed but can be annoyed by pompous self servitude that makes it clear you will never and I mean never mistake Parker Pearson for another archeologist named Pearson--STAY AWAY!!
However, if you enjoy hearing Donald Sutherland say "Parker Pearson" 2, 3, 4 times per minute then you will love this program and you are welcome to it!

Terrific archaeology from one of the foremost authorities on ritual landscapes and very entertaining.
Parker Pearson is a non-hyphenated English double surname, such as in Ralph Vaughn Williams.
Parker Pearson discovers the KEY to Stonehenge November 21, 2008

This is the story of one of the greatest prehistoric archaeological discoveries ever made in northern Europe. Dr. Michael Parker Pearson has not only uncovered the largest Neolithic settlement ever found in this part of the world, but also what is probably the very KEY to understanding the most unique and enigmatic monument in northern Europe, Stonehenge. His discovery ranks alongside the discovery of Tut's tomb in Egypt, as one of the most important archaeological finds of all time!
That he broke with the commonly held wisdom among archaeologists that excavation OUTSIDE of henges was a waste of time, leading directly to his finds, and then went on to define one of the most convincing reconstructions of archaic rituals ever attempted, shows what a bold thinker he really is. Yes indeed, this is a great story, not only about great science, but also about the very people who are the ancestors to so many of us, about whom so little is known.
I must say I enjoyed watching this documentary immensely! I saw it on TV, but will have my own copy before long. I'd love to watch this at least a few more times. Highly recommended!
