Ireland – Dig It! - Time travel adventure show on RTÉ2RTÉ 2 Every day at 5pm from Monday 20th to Friday 24th September.

Ireland – Dig It! the time travel adventure show starts on RTÉ2 on Sept 20th. This fast paced series challenges kids both mentally and physically in an exciting, fun-filled voyage through Ireland’s ancient history. The exploits include code-breaking, trading with Vikings, building Stone Age pots, racing through primeval forest and building portal tombs, all tests that take our intrepid competitors on an archaeological roller coaster ride! In each programme three teams of three from all over the country get transported back in time to help the brilliant, but slightly batty, archaeologist Professor Gertrude McNulty who accidentally released Uafás, an evil time bandit, from his ancient prison. The winning teams from four shows join Gertrude in the Grand Final where they will return Uafás to his tomb, trapping him for all eternity! Each episode of the location-based series is set in a different period of Irish history, the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Viking Ireland. The series was filmed in Local Authority Museums around the country – County Museum Dundalk, Cavan County Museum, Waterford Museum of Treasures and Limerick’s Hunt Museum, as well as in the amazing Craggaunowen Heritage Park in County Clare.
