1. • • A story based on true events that works more as a drama than a documentary. The plot of how a discovery changes the life of a community, right on the eve of World War II, is sustained with excellent performances and an absorbing plot that never loses its rhythm.

   What is 'the dig' about?

   • Told with simplicity and grace, and a sensitivity to the pastoral Suffolk landscape of wide fields and wider skies, “The Dig” is often quite thrilling, particularly in the dig’s initial phases, when it’s just Basil and Edith discussing how to proceed. Edith had a youthful interest in archaeology, and was accepted to university.

   Is 'the dig' a deep grave?

   • Like the soon to be released Ammonite, The Dig is about a scientist from the wrong side of the track, who faces prejudice at every turn. Stone’s film never gets its hands dirty in the way that Francis Lee’s does. But it’s a whole lot rougher, and wryer, than Downton Abbey. If The Dig could have been deeper, it’s hardly a shallow grave.
