Llygadwy 2001 - a few questions?
Spokes
This episode went to air in Australia last night. Yeah, we're a few
years behind you on this one.
About Llygadwy, did you think the two farmers were being honest (or
fair dinkum in our lingo)?
How much could be attributed the wacky reverend of the 1800s?
Do you think Tony and the TT were holding back on what they really
thought of the farmers?
It's been a few years down the track now...any fresh thoughts on this
particular episode?

This is the fraudulent one?

Not in the slightest.

None.

Yes.

Good episode. Archaeologists aren't stupid - and don't tangle with TT or (next
time) they will set a certain female archaeologist on you. I think it was
fairly plain what she really wanted to do with them - and it probably involved
barbed wire. ;-)

Jenni did look a trifle annoyed, so did Carenza.
At the end of the day, I reckon TT knew what was up from the start.
The absence of local experts was evident, who obviously knew the site
to be fake, and possibly tipped them off. The episode showcased TT's
skills in exposing dodgy sites and a lesson to anyone thinking of
trying such stunts in the future.
I would've gone a step further and asked the plod to come in and
inquire about how the objects came into their posession. Then again it
might be a wasteful exercise. the farmer was good at playing dumb.

say I live near Llegadewy. Firstly the owners of this site never wanted TT
or any others to do a dig there. It is my understanding the owner had got
out of hospital the day before TT did the dig. To suggest the farmer planted
the findings of lots of different objects is just pure contempt. TT- it
appears did all they could to discredit the site and did not commence the
dig with an open mind. How an earth would the farmer know where TT was going
to dig? did the farmer point out where to dig? No he did not. TT went to
that site intent on doing all they could to discredit the entire site and
farmers. However even if it was all set up be the farmer,I would take my hat
off and say good try! not many would have the guts and bottle to go all the
way.
