The Dig (12A)

Wealthy widow Edith Pretty is convinced that treasures lie beneath the surface of burial mounds on her Sutton Hoo estate. With the Second World War beckoning, she hires amateur archaeologist Basil Brown to excavate the site and he makes a historic discovery: an Anglo-Saxon ship burial. British Museum archaeologist Charles Phillips and various members of the London establishment descend on Sutton Hoo to stake their claim to the treasures.
