Johnny Vaughan and his mudlarking guide and buddy “Mud God” Steve Brooker, are on a muddy archaeological adventure, digging up the banks of the Thames to reveal our astonishing hidden history. Armed with metal detectors and trowels – the pair have just five hours before the tide rushes in to wade, search and dig the banks of the River Thames finding artefacts, from medieval chain mail to WW2 artillery shells and Tudor trading tokens to cursed Bellarmine pots. The extraordinary objects that they find propel them on quests through the streets of London and around the country to unlock the secrets of remarkable shared British past.
Second series of the History Channel documentary presented by Johnny Vaughan which follows members of the Mudlarks Society as they search for historical artefacts on the shore of the River Thames. Through the expertise of Mudlarks member Steve Brooker, who co-presents with Vaughan, the Thames and the discoveries it yields are used as a basis for exploring the river's past and its role in the history of Britain.
