Time Team Special: The Lost Dock Of Liverpool

[Waterways]

Maybe there's the odd mistake or wrong emphasis but I think that looking at it from the view point of the rest of the country we came out fantastically well and if I lived eleswhere, I'd want to visit here.

They could have had a graphic that superimposed the Old Dock onto the existing city. It wasn't clear where it was. It would be easy to think it was Canning Dock or Pier Head by the air shots.



They never even had an establishing shot of St.George's Hall, just the steps - the European Architectural Commission stated the hall was one of the most significant buildings built in Europe in the past 200 years - the world's first air conditioned building based on the Parthenon - none of this was mentioned.

The Time Team were only observers as Oxford Uni were doing the digs.

It came out fine and positive and informative about the city for once. Except that everyone else will think only slavery founded the city - which is very wrong.

The statement, "the city was not constrained by its past", when observing the city's meteoric rise. Look at the NIMBYs we have here today and why things don't get done. Far too many are obsessed with the past to the point it hinders the future.
