I cant wait to visit #Pompeii in March. This will such an exciting visit.

You may just be in time to go on a free tour of the new excavations if you visit on a weekday. Cannot recommend this more. Details here on how to book: https://pompeiisites.org/comunicati/cantiere-aperto-dal-3-gennaio-visite-al-cantiere-dei-nuovi-scavi-nella-regio-ix-di-pompei/

Thank you so much, I need to re visit my plans I was planning a weekend visit as we are only there for a few days and I want to do both #Pompeii and #Herculanium as well as one of two #ww2 sites. A busy few days of wonderful History.

I do hope you get time to visit the National Archaeological Museum.

pompei79.bsky.social•41 days ago

The visit will all depend on whether the excavation is still ongoing at that point so I hope so for your sake that it is!

lettie44.bsky.social•40 days ago

Looking forward to watching this. I visited Pompeii and Herculaneum in April last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Excellent programme. Nice to see pleasure being taken in something as mundane/vital as ancient plumbing.

pompei79.bsky.social•39 days ago

I genuinely love a good bit of Roman plumbing! Just mind-boggling engineering skills on display and so rare to see it all in situ.
I’m also expecting a BAFTA nomination! 😉

hansenisagod.bsky.social•39 days ago

Brilliant. Looking forward to watching it. #Pompeii

msmarzipan.bsky.social•40 days ago

I will watch. Thank you.

pompei79.bsky.social•40 days ago

Hooray! Hope you enjoy it.

pvbuk.bsky.social•38 days ago

Just watched the latest episode on iPlayer. ☺️
Was anything found inside the lock chest in the Skeleton Room?

curious-bronwen.bsky.social•38 days ago

Great programme - OMG that plumbing 😍 lovely to see you on the tellybox!

pompei79.bsky.social•38 days ago

The plumbing is amazing - One of my favourite discoveries. So glad you enjoyed the prog - am ridiculously chuffed to have been involved.

nathaliecohen.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wonderful programme, absolutely loved watching this and have *major* site envy, how stunning!

pompei79.bsky.social•36 days ago

I’m really thrilled you enjoyed it. It’s a really beautiful portrayal of what my colleagues do and how much genuine passion, dedication, and knowledge they all have. Plus the archaeology just shone and is the absolute star of the programme. Sorry about the envy but it is the best site!!

One inspired 6 year old forced me for a walk in the woods after school to look for Romans. She went to sleep listening to Natalie Haynes Pompeii episode.

pompei79.bsky.social•38 days ago

Goodness! This is the loveliest thing and warms my heart. I hope she continues her search!

boisehokie.bsky.social•38 days ago

Do you know when/if this will air in the states?

pompei79.bsky.social•38 days ago

Probably soon and most likely on PBS.

boisehokie.bsky.social•38 days ago

I can’t wait! Thank you!

simonorch.bsky.social•38 days ago

Cracking program, thoroughly enjoyed it, the thrill of discovery never gets old does it. Only another 4 months until i dust off my trowel and go searching for Romans again.

pompei79.bsky.social•38 days ago

So pleased you enjoyed it. Nothing I love more than visiting them on site as the finds emerge from the pumice. Something so special seeing it at that stage.

tallantyre.bsky.social•41 days ago

Is this the same as the 3-part new dig documentary or a new one? Really enjoyed the previous.

thelondonwalker.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m hoping it’s new films, please be new films, please be new films! The first series was so good and a generous amount of screen time. An hour each episode. Please be new ones!

pompei79.bsky.social•41 days ago

It’s a brand new episode with all the latest discoveries that you may have seen on the news.

thelondonwalker.bsky.social•41 days ago

That’s amazing news…especially in light of what else is happening that day.

pompei79.bsky.social•41 days ago

Well I hope it’s of more interest to some than the other thing…

tallantyre.bsky.social•41 days ago

Excellent! I've loved Pompeii and Herculano since seeing them almost deserted during a visit in a gloomy but atmospheric February almost 30 years ago when I lived in Italy. Bet they're never that quiet these days! Great to see the new finds there.

pompei79.bsky.social•41 days ago

It’s a brand new episode in that same series - should be clear in the link provided. It picks up from the last series and follows the latest discoveries.
