Orkney - seven miles off the coast of Scotland and cut off by the tumultuous Pentland Firth, the fastest flowing tidal race in Europe - is often viewed as being remote. Yet it is one of the treasure troves of archaeology in Britain.
Recent discoveries there are turning the stone age map of Britain upside down.
Rather than an outpost at the edge of the world, recent finds suggest an extraordinary theory... that Orkney was the cultural capital of our ancient world and the origin of the stone circle cult which culminated in Stonehenge.
In this new three-part series Neil Oliver, Chris Packham, Andy Torbet and Dr Shini Somara join hundreds of archaeologists from around the world who have gathered there to investigate at one of Europe's biggest digs.
Join a team of scientists as they embark on a thrilling journey to explore the Earth's atmosphere aboard one of the world's largest airships.
Experience the thrill of a lifetime as the team conducts groundbreaking experiments and collects vital data to better understand our planet. Get ready for an adventure like no other!
Join Sophie Raworth and Army Officer Andy Torbet as they pay tribute to the heroes of British war on BBC One's documentary series The People Remember.
